How do you ‘hide’ pages?

Hello,

I’m having trouble searching for a solution to this question, so I’ll post it here. What I would like to do is create a Page in WP, have it be public (and published), but not have it included in all the menus and page listings.

More specifically: I want to create a “Site Credits” page, but I don’t want WP to include in the nav menu. I’ll put a link to the Credits page in a footer option and go from there. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
