Purgatory Creek is a stream located in the western metropolitan area of Minnesota. It primarily flows through Hennepin County. The creek originates from three primary sources: Lotus Lake in Chanhassen, Silver Lake in Shorewood, and wetlands in Minnetonka.
After these tributaries merge, Purgatory Creek travels about 12 to 16 miles, passing through a variety of landscapes, including lakes, marshes, forests, and urban areas. Notable points along its route include the Purgatory Recreation Area (the location of this highlight) and Staring Lake in Eden Prairie.
The creek’s watershed covers most of Eden Prairie and Minnetonka, with smaller sections in Deephaven, Shorewood, and Chanhassen. Ultimately, Purgatory Creek passes through the bluffs of the Minnesota River Valley before emptying into the Minnesota River.
