Wolf Creek is an unincorporated community located in the town of Sterling, Polk County, Wisconsin, United States.

[1] Wolf Creek is located along the River Road, approximately 12 miles north of St Croix Falls, Wisconsin.

Wolf Creek was initially a trading post and then a stopping place on the River Road from the Falls of St Croix to the pineries to the north.

Wolf Creek remained a quiet small town with a boom in the late 1880s with the construction of nearby Nevers Dam on the St Croix River.

At its peak, Wolf Creek had several stores, a bar, a community hall, a Methodist church, a public school, post office, blacksmith shop and other businesses including the water-powered flour and saw mill.
