Spring Creek has quietly shaped Springdale for generations. It gave our city its name, nourishes its landscape, and connects people, wildlife, and place. This October, Perrodin Supply Co. invites you to experience the work of local artists and creators inspired by the creek—its ecology, history, flora and fauna, watershed, or their own relationship to it.
Throughout October, our storefront will become a gallery and gathering space featuring exhibitions, events, and conversations celebrating the stories and living culture of Spring Creek.
10% of all sales will be donated to the Illinois River Watershed Partnership, supporting their ongoing work to protect, restore, and educate our community about Spring Creek and the greater watershed.
WHERE IS SPRING CREEK?
The headwaters of Spring Creek begin on the western slope of the nob hills east of the airport. Flowing westward in goes underneath the airport entering downtown Springdale skirting Luther George Park. It continues northward under Emma Avenue, highlighted at Walter Turnbow Park and the boardwalk beside the Shiloh Museum. The many springs flowing into the creek in this area are where the name for our town was found. Flowing onwards northwest through Springdale, the Razorback Greenway trail follows this general course all the way to where the creek skirts around Lake Springdale before crossing behind the AGFC Nature Center, under I49, joining Osage Creek and eventually the Illinois River. While much of the creek winds behind neighborhoods, parks, and businesses, there are several places where you can experience it.
New to Spring Creek? There are many public access points throughout Springdale and Northwest Arkansas. If you’d like recommendations for places to safely experience the creek, we’d be happy to help. Reach out at perrodinsupply@gmail.com
