Bald Hills Creek is a tidal waterway in Brisbane's northern suburbs, flowing through the Tinchi Tamba Wetlands near Bald Hills. The creek branches off the North Pine River approximately 1.3 kilometres from the river's mouth at Bramble Bay, and extends roughly 4 kilometres before becoming choked with vegetation. The creek runs largely parallel to the Houghton Highway for a section, which introduces some road noise, but the majority of the paddle is through mangrove-lined banks that provide considerable wind protection.

The standard out-and-back route covers 11.1 kilometres and typically takes around four hours to complete. The paddle is rated moderate in difficulty. The creek is generally wide and straightforward, passing derelict jetties, a mangrove island, and a bird hide associated with the Tinchi Tamba Wetlands walking tracks. Several short tributaries branch off the main channel and are worth exploring, including one that forms part of the Eagle Canoe Trail. A useful turnaround marker is an old dome-shaped brick sewer drain near the upper end of the navigable section.

The primary launch point is Brighton Park on the Hornibrook Highway in Brighton, located approximately 30 minutes north of Brisbane's CBD. The park is accessed by turning left off the Houghton Highway just before the bridge when heading north toward Redcliffe. Parking at the launch site is ample relative to typical visitor numbers. Alternative launch options include the Tinchi Tamba boat ramp accessed from Wyampa Road in Bald Hills, as well as boat ramps at Lawnton, Barungwarra, and Strathpine, though these require careful attention to tides as the waterway is tidal and can be shallow in places.

Tidal conditions are an important planning consideration throughout the route. Timing the tide correctly allows paddlers to ride the incoming tide up Bald Hills Creek and return with the outgoing tide on the North Pine River. The paddle can be undertaken year-round, though limited shade along portions of the route makes early morning or afternoon starts preferable to midday paddling. The Tinchi Tamba Wetlands area is noted as habitat for a wide variety of birdlife, and Eastern Grey Kangaroos are commonly seen in the grassed areas adjacent to the wetlands.
