The Naver Creek is an approximately 80 km long left tributary of the Fraser River in the north of the Canadian province of British Columbia .
The Naver Creek rises on the Fraser Plateau 20 km northeast of Hixon at an altitude of 1580 m . The Naver Creek initially flows 30 km south. Then he turns 20 km to the west. Eventually it flows north-northwest. The British Columbia Highway 97 ( Cariboo Highway , Quesnel - Prince George ) now runs west of the river. At Hixon this crosses the river. Below Hixon, the Hixon Creek flows into the Naver Creek on the right. After a further 6 km, this finally flows into the left bank of the Fraser River, 50 km south of Prince George and 50 km north of Quesnel. The Cottonwood River runs further south . The river name is derived from Strathnaver , a property of the Duke of Sutherland in northern Scotland.
