Sixteen Mile Creek is a river running through Halton Region Ontario, Canada, from the Niagara Escarpment, through the towns of Milton and Oakville, where it flows into Lake Ontario.
Like many creeks draining into Lake Ontario, Sixteen Mile Creek has cut a deep valley that is home to a broad range of wildlife, including whitetail deer, raccoons, foxes, opossum, and squirrels. The forest contains tree species typical of the Carolinian Forest habitat, although since this is close to the northern limit of this zone, some are poorly represented.
In Oakville, it also forms part of Glen Abbey Golf Course and is home to the Oakville Yacht Squadron.
