Sloan Creek is the largest tributary of the North Fork Sauk River, entering the river about 2.1 miles (3.4 km) above the mouth of Lost Creek. Its only major tributary is Cadet Creek, which enters the creek about 1.8 miles (2.9 km) above its mouth. According to Fred Beckey, Cadet Creek is larger than Sloan Creek and could be equally considered the head of the Sauk River as the North Fork itself.[2]
