Midnight Creek[1] is a river in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. The river begins in the heart of the Porcupine Hills and of the Manitoba Escarpment and heads in a generally south-east direction through the Porcupine Provincial Forest before emptying into Elbow Lake. A short river connects Elbow Lake to Woody Lake, which is the source for Woody River. Highway 980 follows the river for much of its course.[2]

Midnight Creek travels through boreal forest,[3] muskeg, and connects many lakes of Porcupine Hills Provincial Park[4] including Isbister, Spirit, Island, and Elbow Lakes. Halliday, Isbister, and Midnight[5] Lakes are along the river's course. Island Creek, which comes from Island and Spirit Lakes, meets up with Midnight Creek just upstream from Midnight Lake.
