Chakima Creek originates in the high peaks south of
Mount Edziza, north of Tadeda Peak and south of Cartoona Peak. From its source about south of the summit of Mount Edziza, Chakima Creek flows generally east for about . It is joined by numerous unnamed tributaries which drain various mountains such as Esja Peak and Hoyaa Peak. In its lower reaches it makes a southward curve, coming close to Mowdade Lake, then bending northward into a large wetland area. It flows through the northern end Mowchilla Lake, then continues northeast through wetlands to empty into Shaman Creek. Mowchilla Lake and the various unnamed creeks that empty into it are part of Chakima Creek's watershed. Chakima Creek's watershed is part of the
Mount Edziza volcanic complex. It is mostly within Mount Edziza Provincial Park. Chakima Creek itself is entirely within the park. Chakima Creek flows through Mowchilla Lake, and some of that lake's unnamed tributaries, which are part of Chakima Creek's watershed, drain areas to the south and east of Mowchilla Lake, outside of Mount Edziza Provincial Park. ==See also==
