Flyin Creek is a tributary of Walkout Creek and part of the Stikine River watershed in northwest part of the province of British Columbia, Canada.[1][7] It flows generally northwest for roughly 7.7 km (4.8 mi)[5] to join Walkout Creek, which flows into Raspberry Creek, then Mess Creek, which flows into the Stikine River about 3 km (1.9 mi) downriver from the community of Telegraph Creek. Flyin Creek's watershed covers 16.3 km2 (6.3 sq mi),[6] and is entirely in Mount Edziza Provincial Park. The creek's mean annual discharge is estimated at 0.423 m3/s (14.9 cu ft/s).[6] The mouth of Flyin Creek is located about 45 km (28 mi) south of Telegraph Creek, British Columbia, about 110 km (68 mi) southeast of Dease Lake, British Columbia, and about 230 km (140 mi) southeast of Juneau, Alaska. Flyin Creek's watershed's land cover is classified as 40.3% barren, 24,2% shrubland, 19.7% conifer forest, 13.8% herbaceous, and small amounts of other cover.[6]

Flyin Creek is in Mount Edziza Provincial Park, which lies within the traditional territory of the Tahltan First Nation, of the Tahltan people.[8][9]
