From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Snatch Creek is a stream in the U.S. state of South Dakota.[1]

Some say the creek received its name from an incident when a person was "snatched" out of the swollen creek, while others believe Indian women "snatched" out fish from the creek during low water.[2]
