Mission Creek is a creek in the Okanagan Region of British Columbia. The Creek rises in the Greystoke Mountain Range and runs west about 43 km before emptying into Okanagan Lake south of Kelowna.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/bcparks/heritage_rivers_program/bc_rivers/mission_creek.html )〕 Its watershed covers about 200,000 square km.〔 Originally called L’Anse-au-Sable, the name Mission Creek was adopted in 1860 in honour of the Catholic Oblate Mission established by Father Pandosy and other settlers. Mission Creek was designated a BC Heritage River by the province in 1996.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.missioncreek.ca/about-mission-creek/ )〕 ==Mining== The creek was mined in the 1870s by people like McDougall. Later people such as Dan Gallagher mined the creek until the 1940s. 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.
