Mission Creek is a large creek in the Okanagan Region of British Columbia. Originally called N'wha-kwi-sen, it was later mapped as Rivière de 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. The Creek rises in the Greystoke Mountain Range and runs west about 43 kilometres before emptying into Okanagan Lake south of Kelowna. Its watershed covers about 200,000 square kilometres. Mission Creek was designated a BC Heritage River by the province in 1996.
