About Turtle Creek

Turtle Creek winds its way for over 30 miles from Turtle Lake near Delavan, Wisconsin to the Rock River in South Beloit, Illinois. This scenic waterway offers great opportunities for paddling, tubing and fishing.  Tiffany Bridge, a historic, hand-built, 5-arch limestone railroad bridge is one of the most photographed historic icons in Rock County.  The City of Beloit has miles of trails along the creek in Turtle Creek Greenway, offering year round enjoyment, including cross country skiing. We invite you to come experience our beautiful Turtle Creek.
