Saint Vrain Creek

The Saint Vrain Creek ( also spelled St. Vrain Creek ) is a left tributary of the South Platte River in the U.S. state of Colorado.

The Saint Vrain Creek is formed at the confluence of its two headwaters of North Fork Saint Vrain Creek and St. Vrain Creek South Fork at Lyons in the north-central part of Colorado. He leaves the Rocky Mountains to the east. South of Longmont he takes the Lefthand Creek and east of Longmont Boulder Creek - both from the right - on. It flows in the lower reaches in a northeasterly direction and flows eventually north of Platteville in the South Platte River. The Saint Vrain Creek has a length of 51.8 km. The catchment area covers 2570 km ².
