Split Creek serves as the put-in for a section of the Blaeberry River running to Thompson Falls, located near the town of Golden in British Columbia. The run is rated Class III+ to IV, placing it in the intermediate-to-advanced range, and is described as a seldom-run but decent quality option for paddlers looking for alternatives to the more frequently paddled Kicking Horse River in the area.

The section carries a slight "adventury" quality beyond its technical rating, primarily due to the potential for wood movement — a significant hazard that paddlers should be prepared to scout and manage. The presence of moving wood means conditions can change between visits, and caution is warranted throughout the run. The route involves no portages under normal conditions, and the estimated duration is approximately half a day.

The run is considered well worth the effort for paddlers already in the Golden area, though it is not regarded as the most classic whitewater in the region. Its proximity to Golden makes it a practical choice when looking to add variety to a trip itinerary. The Blaeberry River database entry notes a flow gauge reading associated with this section, suggesting water levels can be monitored, though paddlers should consult local paddling groups for current access and hazard information, as conditions and access points may change over time.

The BC Whitewater reach database, which maintains information on this section, notes that the database is user-maintained and may not always reflect the most current conditions. Paddlers are advised to seek up-to-date local knowledge before running this stretch.
