Jackfish Creek is a stream located within or adjacent to Riding Mountain National Park in Manitoba, Canada, in the vicinity of Lake Audy at approximately 50°45′N, 100°14′W. Paddling on the creek is subject to significant limitations due to its intermittent water supply, and canoeing is generally not feasible under normal conditions.

The creek may become navigable during spring runoff or following periods of heavy rainfall, making those the only realistic windows for paddling. Prospective paddlers should plan accordingly and verify water levels before committing to a trip, as conditions can change rapidly and the creek may not hold sufficient depth outside of these periods.

Riding Mountain National Park requires mandatory watercraft inspections for aquatic invasive species (AIS) before launching any watercraft. Paddlers intending to use Jackfish Creek should factor this requirement into their planning and contact Parks Canada in advance to confirm current inspection station locations and hours.

The creek supports a population of northern pike, which may be of interest to paddlers who also fish. Nearby lakes within Riding Mountain National Park, including Lake Audy, offer more consistently accessible paddling options when Jackfish Creek is not navigable.
