Lott Creek is a small foothills stream located on Alberta's Eastern Slopes in the southwestern part of the province. As a coldwater mountain tributary, it provides habitat characteristic of the foothills region, flowing through a landscape shaped by glaciofluvial gravels and surrounded by a mixed riparian zone of trembling aspen, balsam poplar, lodgepole pine, and white spruce. The creek drains into the broader Elbow River watershed, one of southwestern Alberta's most ecologically significant river systems.
