Browns Creek is an urban waterway located in Taree, New South Wales, within the Manning River region. It is also historically known as Crooked Creek. The creek offers approximately two to three kilometres of navigable waterway. A dedicated canoe and kayak launch site provides convenient access for paddlers. This launch site is located at 5 Railway Street in Taree. The overall character of the paddling experience is shaped by its location within an urban setting. Facilities and amenities specifically for paddlers appear to be centered around this dedicated launch point. The waterway's manageable length makes it suitable for shorter excursions. The presence of a campsite named Browns Creek Campsite suggests the area may support longer visits, though its exact location relative to the paddling route is not detailed.
