Gordon Creek is a small creek located on the southern side of upper Middle Harbour in Sydney, flowing through Garigal National Park. It is accessible from Davidson Park, with the most convenient launch point at the western end of the park. Paddlers seeking additional distance can alternatively put in from the boat ramp area just east of Roseville Bridge, which adds approximately one kilometre each way to the trip.

Tidal conditions are a significant factor when planning a paddle on Gordon Creek. The creek is best paddled at the highest possible tide to maximise access along its length, as lower water levels will limit how far upstream paddlers can travel. Trip planning should therefore be coordinated around local tide tables.

The creek passes through Garigal National Park, offering a natural bushland setting typical of the Sydney sandstone landscape. The surrounding environment and the creek's location within a national park contribute to its character as a relatively undeveloped waterway close to the city.
