Snatch Creek

Last updated

Snatch Creek is a stream in the U.S. state of South Dakota. [1] It is a left-bank tributary of the Missouri River, draining into Lewis and Clark Lake.

Some say the creek received its name from an incident when a person was "snatched" out of the swollen creek, while others believe Indian women "snatched" out fish from the creek during low water. [2]
