Course
editPercy Creek begins at unnamed slope in Mount Seymour Provincial Park at a height of just under 1,000 metres (3,300 ft).[3] It heads east and empties into the west end of Goldie Lake, accessible via the park's Goldie Lake Loop Trail.[3] It exits the lake at the east in a southeast direction, exits the park, and reaches its mouth at sea level on the west side of Indian Arm, between the settlements of Alder Creek and Cascade.[1][2] Indian Arm connects via Burrard Inlet and the Salish Sea to the Pacific Ocean.
