L'Aigle Creek
L’Aigle Creek is a waterway in Bradley County, Arkansas. It is 44.2 miles long. It flows into the Saline River, which is a tributary of the Ouachita River.
The watershed of the creek covers a large portion of Bradley County, Arkansas. L’Aigle Creek meets the EPA water quality standards.
The Ouachita River flows through the Felsenthal National Wildlife Refuge. The Saline River and the L’Aigle Creek flow within the boundaries of the refuge. The Felsenthal National Wildlife Refuge is subject to flooding in the spring. Heavy rain can cause the water levels in the creek and river to rise. This flooding can be beneficial for some species. Flooding can be a challenge for wildlife and people living in the area.
L'Aigle is French for "the eagle."
