Little Flint Creek is a stream in Benton County, Arkansas. ^{[1] [2]} It forms northeast of Gentry, and flows generally southwest to become a tributary of Flint Creek to the north-northwest of Siloam Springs. ^{[3] [4] [5]} It was impounded in the 1975-1978 timeframe to form Lake Flint Creek, a 500-acre reservoir that provides cooling water to the Flint Creek Power Plant as well as fishing to the general public. ^{[6] [7]}

Flint Creek goes on to flow into Oklahoma, eventually joining the Illinois River. ^{[8] [9]}
