Bare Creek is a watercourse [2] that is part of the Middle Harbour catchment of Sydney Harbour that is located in the northern beaches region of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
Bare Creek rises in bushland in the north-western corner of Belrose. The main channel of the creek flows west through Garigal National Park, while the steep headwaters originate to the north of the sub-catchment, immediately south of Mona Vale Road. The creek flows generally west south-west before reaching its confluence with Frenchs Creek to form the Middle Harbour Creek, north of the suburb of Davidson.
