Salt Creek is a 24-mile tributary of the East Arm Little Calumet River flowing through Porter County, Indiana, beginning south of Valparaiso and running north until it joins the Little Calumet River near Lake Michigan. This scenic stream offers excellent small-stream fishing opportunities, particularly for migratory salmonids that run upstream from Lake Michigan on seasonal spawning runs. The creek meanders through riparian bottomlands, creating an intimate fishing environment popular with fly anglers. While the creek flows through various communities including Valparaiso, South Haven, Portage, and Burns Harbor, public access is available at multiple points managed by both state and county agencies. The creek watershed covers approximately 49,573 acres, representing 19% of Porter County, and features unique wetlands in its headwaters, including fen habitats with rare plant species.
