Fox Creek flows southwest into Bull Creek which flows into Dixie Creek which flows into the O'Donnel River. It is about 5 kilometres long and its junction with Bull Creek is about 35 kilometres east-southeast of the community of Atlin.

The creek received sporadic work by small, individual surface operations from 1899 to 1904, from 1913 to 1921, and from 1941 to 1945. The amount of work is very poorly documented, and it is recorded that 870 grams of gold were recovered from the creek, mostly from the years 1916 to 1920 when the creek received the most work (Bulletin 28).

The creek is underlain primarily by cherts and argillites of the Mississippian to Triassic Kedahda Formation of the Cache Creek Complex. There are also some exposures north of the creek of mafic volcanic rocks of the upper Mississippian to Permian Nakina Formation (Cache Creek Complex). Some lode gold exploration has been done in the area north of Fox Creek.
