Owl Creek

Owl Creek is a tributary of the Birkenhead River located just off Pemberton Portage Road, a few miles upstream from Mount Currie in British Columbia's Pemberton Valley.

The confluence sits within a stretch of the Birkenhead where the creek adds extra volume to the river, after which the main channel picks up steeper gradient with boofs and playwaves — a noted landmark for whitewater paddlers running the lower Birkenhead.

The area has historical significance as the site of a major Oblate missionary organization that served Lil'wat people from throughout the Pemberton Valley.

Today, an informal recreation site nestled between the Birkenhead River and Owl Creek draws visitors for fishing and riverside relaxation. Access is via Pemberton Portage Road, which passes through the Owl Creek area on its way north from Mount Currie.
