Crescent Creek is a river in the south-east region of the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. The river begins in the Beaver Hills and flows in an easterly direction into Crescent Lake. Crescent Creek is a tributary of Yorkton Creek, which flows north into the Whitesand River–a tributary of the Assiniboine River.
Beginning in the RM of Garry No. 245, Crescent Creek flows south-east into the RM of Stanley No. 215 and on towards the city of Melville. North-west of the city, the river empties into Melville Reservoir. From there, Crescent Creek carries on eastward skirting the northern edge of Melville, running through the middle of Melville Golf and Country Club, and crossing Highways 47 and 10. After Melville, the river continues east into the RM of Cana No. 214 and Crescent Lake. Crescent Lake is a shallow lake that connects to Leech Lake, the source of Yorkton Creek.
