Bromley Creek is a west-flowing tributary of the Similkameen River, about 10 kilometres long, situated southwest of Princeton.

The lower half of the creek, in the vicinity of Highway 3, flows through an area of gravel terraces that may represent a southerly trending abandoned channel of the Tulameen River, lying between the Similkameen River and the present Tulameen River. Various shafts sunk over an area extending northward from the lower part of Bromley Creek to the Tulameen River are reported to have encountered "colours" of gold and platinum. The creek itself contains "light, porous colours of gold in a surface residue" (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1926, page 233).

The creek and the surrounding area were first explored by Tulameen Gold and Platinum Recovery Company Ltd. between 1926 and 1928. Key Diversified Mining Corporation completed a magnetometer survey over the area in 1987.
