Wascana Creek is a river in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan, originating in fields east of Regina near Vibank. It travels south-east for approximately 45 kilometres before turning back west at Tyvan, then flows in a north-westerly direction through Regina, where it was dammed to create Wascana Lake. Below the lake, the creek continues out of Regina and ends at the Qu'Appelle River approximately one mile west of Lumsden. The creek is a tributary of the Qu'Appelle River, which itself drains into the Red River system.

Within Regina, the creek passes through Wascana Park, a large urban greenspace measuring over 931 hectares. The park surrounds Wascana Lake and follows the creek corridor, providing an urban paddling environment with access to amenities including a marina, boat launch, and washrooms. Wascana Lake itself was created in 1883 by damming Wascana Creek and was dredged in 2003–2004 to an overall depth of 5.5 metres, with a deeper fish habitat section reaching 7.5 metres. The lake is described as still water and well sheltered from winds, making it suitable for flatwater paddling.

One established access point for the creek is at Wascana Creek and Pasqua Street, where canoe equipment is stored for educational programs. The Regina Board of Education operates a fleet of canoes on both Wascana Creek and Wascana Lake for school groups, indicating that the creek section near Pasqua Street is a recognized paddling area. The lake also has a boathouse at the marina where additional canoes are stored.

The name Wascana derives from the Cree word "Oscana," meaning "pile of bones," a reference to the Plains Buffalo bones that once covered the shores of the creek. The park and lake area support wildlife watching, birding, and fishing, with common species in the creek including northern pike, common carp, and white sucker. Summer months are the primary season for paddling activities in the park, with the broader park also used for cross-country skiing in winter. The park is located within walking distance of downtown Regina and approximately five minutes from the airport.
