Bevens Creek is a stream in Carver and Sibley counties, in the U.S. state of Minnesota.[1] It has a tributary, Silver Creek.
Bevens Creek was named for an early settler.[2]
A dam used to exist along the creek, built in the 1950s. In 2014, the dam broke due to record rainfall. In 2022, the remains of the dam were demolished.[3]
