Spirit Creek

Spirit Creek is a creek located in the Assiniboine River watershed. It begins near Rama, Saskatchewan generally following a line to the east. 2 miles east of Rama is the Spirit Creek Reservoir, the creek continues east. At a point 2 miles west of Buchanan the creek turns to the South and crosses Highway 5 and the CN rail line. It continues south east from the rail line before crossing Highway 754 it then continues to Highway 47 2 miles south of Buchanan. From there the creek passes through Patterson Lake and finds its mouth at the northernmost end of Good Spirit Lake.[1]

The Spirit Creek Dam and reservoir were built in the 1920s by Canadian Northern Railway to provide steam locomotives with a water source. In recent years it was owned and operated by the Village of Rama and is now owned by Big Sky industrial pork farms.

The Spirit Creek Dam and reservoir is located about 2 miles east of Rama. Good Spirit Lake (Devil's Lake) is about 10 miles South of Buchanan.
