Depot Creek is a large creek in Whatcom County, Washington and British Columbia.[1] Its headwaters are in Washington however, its mouth is in British Columbia. It is best known for the waterfall it flows over, Depot Creek Falls. It is named for an old trading post near its mouth, hence the name "Depot".[2]

Depot Creek's headwaters are in Ouzel Lake, located in a cirque between Mount Redoubt and Mount Spickard. The creek exits the lake and flows northwest into a large, swamp-like area at the top of Depot Creek Falls. The creek then drops over the falls and reaches the bottom of the valley. From here the creek flows northwest until it flows into Chilliwack Lake near its south end. The creek crosses the border about halfway there.
