McKee Creek is a creek located in the Atlin Country region of British Columbia. The creek flows into Atlin Lake from the east side. McKee Creek is located 8 miles south of Atlin Town. The creek is 7 miles in length. McKee Creek was discovered in 1898. The creek has been hand mined and hyraulicked. Outfits such as Atlin Mining Company have worked the creek. The largest nugget recovered from the creek weighed just over 28 ounces. McKee Creek was a consistent mining producer well into the 1930s.[1]
