Branch Creek is located on the eastern side of Lake Wivenhoe in Southeast Queensland, managed by Seqwater as part of the Lake Wivenhoe recreation area. The site provides a designated launch point for paddle craft, making it one of the access locations for paddlers wanting to explore Lake Wivenhoe. Fishing along the shoreline is also available at this location.

Seqwater publishes a Lake Wivenhoe Recreation Guide that contains detailed information about activities, a map of the area, and important safety information, which would be a useful resource for anyone planning a paddling trip to Branch Creek. Given that Lake Wivenhoe is a water supply reservoir managed by Seqwater, paddlers should be aware that recreation closures and other restrictions can be put in place at various times, and checking current notices on the Seqwater website before visiting is advisable.
