Logan Creek Dredge is a canal located in northeastern Nebraska, United States,{{gnis|830826|Logan Creek}} that roughly follows the natural course of the Logan Creek, but without the many meanders. Some water still flows through much of course of the former creek (and its many meanders). The former course of the creek is referred to as the Old Channel Logan Creek.{{gnis|831846|Old Channel Logan Creek}}{{gnis|831847|Old Channel Logan Creek}}
Course
The Logan Creek Dredge rises southeastern Cedar County at the confluence of Middle Logan Creek{{gnis|831268|Middle Logan Creek}} and Perrin Creek,{{gnis|832041|Perrin Creek}} northeast of Laurel. It then flows southeast, passing through or adjacent to the towns of Concord, Wakefield, Pender, Bancroft, Lyons, Oakland, Uehling and Winside. The canal empties into the Elkhorn River in eastern Dodge County, just east of Winslow.Nebraska Atlas & Gazetteer, DeLorme, 4th ed., 2010, pp. 39-41 and 54-55 {{isbn|0899333281}}
