Add article description

French Creek is a creek located in the Big Bend Country region of British Columbia. The creek is a northern tributary of the Goldstream River which flows into the Columbia River from the east, a little over 50 miles north of Revelstoke. This creek has been mined and has produced about $800,000 in gold. French Creek has been mined by Europeans and Chinese.[1] There is evidence that part of French Creek has changed course over the years due to rock slides and other blockages. The empty former creek bed still parallels the present-day creek in some areas.[2]
