Bloom Creek is in the northwest corner of Clearwater County. It begins at an elevation of 4,685 feet on Jackson Mountain and flows three miles before entering the East Fork of the Potlatch River. There is a meadow of the same name that lies west the creek's mouth.

It was named for Henry Bloom who homesteaded along the creek in 1904. He was the manager of the Elk River mill for Potlatch Lumber Company.
