Mission Creek is a creek in the Okanagan Region of British Columbia. The creek flows into Okanagan Lake from the eastern hills. Mission Creek is located south of Kelowna. The creek was discovered in 1875 or 1874. Mission Creek was originally called Riviere L'Anse du Sable. The creek was mined in the 1870s by people like McDougall. Later people such as Dan Gallagher mined the creek until the 1940s.[1]
British Columbia historian Bill Barlee believes the lost McLean Mine is located between the headwaters of Mission Creek and Monashee Creek. McLean was a First Nations prospector who lived near Kelowna. [2]
