Wavey Creek is a stream in Manitoba, Canada, located near St. Andrews in the Netley Creek area north of Winnipeg, at approximately 50°17′N 96°54′W. It is notably wide for a creek — considerably wider than urban Winnipeg waterways such as the Seine River or La Salle River — and shares this character with the nearby Medicine Creek, Muckle Creek, and Netley Creek. Backflow from Lake Winnipeg and the Red River maintains reliable water depth throughout the paddling season and keeps current minimal, making for straightforward flatwater paddling.

The primary access point is along Wavey Creek Road, where there are multiple possible launch locations. Paddlers typically meet around 9:30 AM to confirm the exact put-in with trip organizers, launching by 10:00 AM. There is no formal take-out infrastructure, and the route can be varied depending on group preference. Documented trips from this launch have ranged from 13 km (approximately 3 hours including a lunch stop) to 21 km (approximately 5 hours including lunch), offering flexibility for different fitness levels and time constraints. A fourth route option extends up Muckle Creek. Netley Creek Provincial Park is reachable along some routes and has been used as a lunch stop, though there are no formal toilet facilities within the park or along the paddling corridor.

The trip rating is listed as intermediate overall, though novice paddlers can participate as bow paddlers in a canoe with an experienced stern paddler. Recommended gear includes lunch, water, sunscreen, and extra warm layers. The creek connects to a broader network of wide, marshy waterways in the Netley-Libau Marsh area, and the surrounding environment supports wildlife typical of that region. The area also attracts anglers targeting yellow perch, brown bullhead, black bullhead, and walleye, which gives some indication of the aquatic ecosystem.

Spring and early fall appear to be the most common paddling seasons based on documented trips in May and September. No specific restrictions or regulations on paddling were noted for this waterway.
