The creek took its name from High Island Lake, a lake that serves as its headwaters. ^[2] The creek flows through an eponymously named Sibley County Park; High Island Creek Park features 220 acres of natural hardwood forests and wetlands along the creek, which runs through the park for 0.56 mi.^[3]
