High Island Creek is a 69.4adj=midNaNadj=mid[1] tributary of the Minnesota River in Minnesota. It rises as Judicial Ditch No. 11 in eastern Renville County, 6miles south of the city of Hector, and flows east into Sibley County, then McLeod County, then back into Sibley County, where it passes the city of Arlington before entering the Minnesota River 3miles north of Henderson.
The creek took its name from High Island Lake, a lake that serves as its headwaters.[2] The creek flows through an eponymously named Sibley County Park; High Island Creek Park features 220 acres of natural hardwood forests and wetlands along the creek, which runs through the park for 0.56 mi.[3]
