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]
