Harris Creek Information

    No hyperlinks

There is some confusion as to the extent of Harris Creek vs Bessette. For example the Provincial EMS data set at https://governmentofbc.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0ecd608e27ec45cd923bdcfeefba00a7 contains results for sampling of Blue Springs Creek at its mouth into Harris Creek (EMS ID: E274293), and the same for the mouth of Creighton Creek (EMS ID: E274289). Yet  that same map shows a label Bessette Creek just upstream of those points. This database reflects that those creeks empty into Bessette, not Harris.

In the past, sampling of the Bessette watershed by the Mid Shuswap and Lumby Stewards referred to one site as "Harris Creek", maps generally agree that Harris joins Bessette just above the mouth of Nicklen, and flows as Bessette all the way to the Shuswap River below Shuswap Falls.
