Lambly Creek
British Columbia river stubsRivers of the Okanagan
Lambly Creek, also known as Bear Creek, is located in the Okanagan region of British Columbia. The creek flows into Okanagan Lake from the west, across from Kelowna. The canyon and mouth of the creek are protected by Bear Creek Provincial Park. Named Bear Creek in 1833 by botanist David Douglas, the stream was officially renamed Lambly Creek in 1922, after Charles Anderson Richardson Lambly (d. 1907), who had been a government agent in several towns in the BC interior. In 1876, gold was discovered in the Creek. The creek was mined for gold. Gold Nuggets with a $5 value have been recovered from the creek.
