Trudel Creek is a tributary of the Kingcome River in the Central Coast region of the province of British Columbia, Canada.[4][6] It flows generally southwest for roughly 6 km (3.7 mi)[5] to join the upper Kingcome River. The mouth of Trudel Creek is located about 163 km (101 mi) north of Campbell River, and about 320 km (200 mi) northwest of Vancouver.
Trudel Creek is in the traditional territory of the Kwakwakaʼwakw Dzawada̱'enux̱w First Nation.[7]
Trudel Creek originates as meltwater from Trudel Glacier in the high peaks of the Pacific Ranges of the southern Coast Mountains.[8] From its origin just south of Mount Ardern,[9] Mount Squire,[10] and Mount Kinch,[11] Trudel Creek flows southwest to join the Kingcome River. In turn the Kingcome River flows south to empty into the fjord Kingcome Inlet.[12][13][3]
