Eyehill Creek[1] is a river in the Canadian provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan. The river begins at Sounding Lake in Alberta and flows east and north into Manitou Lake in Saskatchewan.[2] Eyehill Creek is the primary inflow for Manitou Lake, which has no outflow. The Manitou Lake watershed is a large endorheic basin between the Battle River watershed (a tributary of the North Saskatchewan River) to the north and the South Saskatchewan River watershed to the south.[3]
Eyehill Creek begins at Sounding Lake in Alberta.[4] The lake's primary inflow is Sounding Creek, which flows in from the west. Eyehill Creek flows out of Sounding Lake from its eastern shore and heads east towards the Saskatchewan border. As it crosses the border, it begins to flow in a more northerly direction towards the town of Macklin. At Macklin, two small lakes are connected to the river–Macklin Lake and Hallam Lake. From Macklin, the river continues north past Evesham, Little Manitou Lake, and Yonker before emptying into the south end of Manitou Lake.[5] [6]
