Lambly Creek, also known as Bear Creek, winds through the Okanagan region of British Columbia, flowing westward into Okanagan Lake directly across from Kelowna. The creek's canyon and mouth are protected within Bear Creek Provincial Park, giving the lower reaches a wild, scenic character that draws both hikers and anglers alike. The watershed has a rich history — gold was discovered here in 1876, and nuggets were reportedly still being recovered as late as 1973. The creek was officially renamed in 1922 to honor Charles Anderson Richardson Lambly, a government agent who served throughout the BC interior, though many locals still refer to it by its original name, Bear Creek. Fish presence is widespread throughout the watershed, with high habitat values found along portions of the mainstem and select tributaries, making it a worthwhile destination for anglers exploring the Okanagan backcountry.
