'''Fourche Creek''' is an urban waterway flowing through Little Rock, Arkansas. The [[Little Rock Department of Parks and Recreation]] calls the creek Fourche Bottoms]]. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers refers to the watershed as the Fourche Bayou Basin.

The city maintains two public boat launches on the creek at [[Benny Craig]] and [[Interstate Park]]. The creek also flows through [[Hindman Park]].

[[Audubon Arkansas]] and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers are currently attempting to clean up and preserve the creek as prime waterfowl habitat. More than $5 million has been allocated to the effort, though not all the funds have as yet been appropriated.
