Spoilcane Creek

Spoilcane Creek is a stream in the U.S. state of Georgia.[1] It is a tributary to the Chattahoochee River.

The origin of the name Spoilcane Creek is unclear. The creek most likely was named for the cane along its course which was a foodstuff.[2] Variant names are "Spoil Cane Creek" and "Spoil'd Cane Creek".[1]
