Lick Creek (North Fork River)

Lick Creek is a stream in Ozark County, Missouri.[1] It is a tributary of North Fork River.

The headwaters of Lick Creek are within the Caney Mountain Conservation Area about five miles north of Gainesville. The stream flows south paralleling Missouri Route 5 north of Gainesville and passing under U. S. Route 160 in south Gainesville. The stream flows south and then east to enter Norfork Lake across the lake from Udall.[2]

The stream source is at 36°40′59″N 92°26′38″W / 36.68306°N 92.44389°W / 36.68306; -92.44389 and the confluence is at 36°32′57″N 92°16′53″W / 36.54917°N 92.28139°W / 36.54917; -92.28139.[1]

Lick Creek was so named on account of mineral licks near its course.[3]
