Grouse Creek (British Columbia)

Grouse Creek is a locality and former mining camp located in the Cariboo region of British Columbia, Canada. It lies northeast of Quesnel, within the Regional District of Fraser-Fort George.

Grouse Creek experienced a significant gold rush boom in the late 19th century, specifically beginning in the 1860s and continuing into the early 20th century. Its namesake creek was a significant source of placer gold. The community served as a supply point and social center for miners working in the surrounding area. Mining activity declined significantly in the following decades.

Today, Grouse Creek is a small, largely uninhabited area. Historical remnants of the gold rush era can still be found in the area.
