Croucher Creek is a small tributary of the Yukon River located near Whitehorse, Yukon, entering the Yukon River approximately 2.2 kilometers downstream of the mouth of McIntyre Creek on the east bank. This creek holds a fascinating ecological significance as a non-natal stream for chinook salmon — adult chinook do not spawn within the creek itself, but juvenile fry migrate up from the Yukon River during summer to rear and overwinter in its waters. This unique behavior makes Croucher Creek an important piece of the upper Yukon watershed's fish ecology. The creek features both a north fork and a south fork, with the south fork containing a notable beaver pond area known as Beaver/Livingstone Pond. The creek flows through terrain characterized by beaver damming activity in its lower reaches, and its watershed sits within close proximity to the city of Whitehorse.

The Beaver/Livingstone Pond area on the south fork's upper reaches is a notable concentration point for multiple species including Arctic grayling, rainbow trout, lake chub, and longnose suckers. The deeper, slower water created by beaver dams throughout the creek system creates holding habitat for northern pike. The area approximately 4.3 kilometers upstream from the mouth on the south fork has historically been the most productive location for rainbow trout. The confluence area where Croucher Creek meets the Yukon River is also worth exploring, particularly during periods when juvenile salmon are moving.
