Love Creek is a stream in Sussex County, Delaware. It is about 3.68 mi (5.92 km) long. This creek flows into Rehoboth Bay. Most of Love Creek is tidal, which means its water levels go up and down with the ocean's tides.

Where Does Love Creek Start and End?

Love Creek begins where two smaller streams, Goslee Creek and Bundicks Branch, meet. This meeting point is inside a pond called Goslee Millpond. From there, Love Creek flows towards the southeast. It eventually reaches and joins Rehoboth Bay. This spot is close to a place called Old Landing in Delaware.

What is the Land Around Love Creek Like?

The area of land that drains water into Love Creek is called its watershed. This watershed covers about 18.02 square miles (46.7 km2) of land. Each year, this area gets about 45.3 inches of rain. About 20.8% of the land in the Love Creek watershed is covered by forests. This means there are many trees and natural areas around the creek.
