Pumpkin Point Creek is a tidal estuary creek located within the Hawkesbury River system in New South Wales. It originates at Canoelands Ridge and flows eastward before entering the Hawkesbury River at Pumpkin Point, situated between Big Jims Point and Bar Point on the opposite side of the river. The creek's shape is notably distinct, described as resembling a huge, elongated basin. As a tributary of a major coastal river system, its fishing characteristics are heavily influenced by tidal movements and estuarine ecology.
