The Eureka Creek is a 35 km long left tributary of the Delta River in Alaska .
Eureka Creek is fed by the Eureka Glacier at an altitude of about 1,100 m on the southern flank of the northern Alaska range . Eureka Creek flows east along the base of the mountains. A nameless river fed by the glacier flows into the river on the left. This eventually meets the Delta River.
