Clear Creek

Background

Clear Creek flows south into the Nechako River. It starts in Crown land (logged and unlogged areas) and crosses Highway 27 twice before flowing through the agricultural belt in Braeside. The creek is roughly 25 km long.

Watercress - At the southern crossing of Highway 27, there is a significant population of watercress (Nasturtium officinale), an aquatic plant native to Europe and Asia. It's origin in Clear Creek is thought to be from Chinese immigrants growing the plant in the creek many many years ago, as watercress is a common plant used for cooking in Asia dishes.
