Big Bureau Creek
River in Illinois, United States
The Big Bureau Creek is a 73-mile-long (117 km)[1] tributary of the Illinois River in north central Illinois.[2] It rises approximately 10 miles (16 km) north of Mendota and flows southwest into Bureau County, turning south at Princeton and then flowing east into the Illinois River floodplain.[1][clarification needed] Among the creek's more notable features is the Red Covered Bridge, built in 1863, which passes over Big Bureau Creek and was once part of the Peoria Galena Trail. The bridge, located just north of Interstate 80, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[3]
