Last updated March 06, 2025

Avingak Creek is a stream in North Slope Borough, Alaska, in the United States of America. It is a tributary of the Kokolik River.^[1]

Avingak is derived from the Eskimo word meaning "lemming", and the abundance of lemmings at the creek caused its name to be selected.^[2]
