Asotin Creek (also known historically as the Asotin River) is a tributary of the Snake River in Asotin County, southeastern Washington. The creek's main stem is 15.5 miles (24.9 km) long, and measured to the head of its longest tributary its length is 33.7 miles (54.2 km).[3] It flows into the Snake River at the town of Asotin, about 5 miles (8.0 km) south of Lewiston–Clarkston. Asotin Creek drains about 325 square miles (840 km2) of mostly semi-arid plateau country on the northeastern flank of the Blue Mountains.[4]
The creek's name is derived from the Nez Perce for "eel", from the abundance of freshwater eels caught there. The town of Asotin in 1878 and Asotin County in 1883 both were named after the creek.[6]
