The Fish Creek is a 175 km long tributary of the Beaufort Sea in northern Alaska .
The Fish Creek has its origin in the southeast of a lake landscape southeast of Point Barrow . The river meanders with countless meanders in a northeastern direction through the tundra landscape of the coastal plain. It takes in the Inicok Creek from the left and Judy Creek and Ublutuoch River from the right. Eventually it flows into Harrison Bay . The mouth of the Colville River delta is further east. The Fish Creek catchment area is in the National Petroleum Reserve .
The river name was reported by the US Coast and Geodetic Survey (USC & GS) in 1951 .
