Divide Creek is a short creek near Kicking Horse Pass on the British Columbia/Alberta border (also the border between Yoho National Park and Banff National Park). After following the Continental Divide of the Americas for a short distance, the creek forks, with one side draining through the Bow River east to Hudson Bay and the Arctic Ocean, and the other side draining west to the Pacific Ocean by way of the Kicking Horse River.{{cite web |title=Parting of the Waters Le Partage des Eaux |url=https://www.hmdb.org/m.asp?m=177899 |website=The Historical Marker database |access-date=9 February 2025}}

The Divide Warden Cabin is near the bank of the creek in Banff, because of its historical associations, and its architectural and environmental value has been classified as a Recognized Federal Heritage Building.{{cite web |title=Divide Warden Cabin |url=https://www.pc.gc.ca/apps/dfhd/page_fhbro_eng.aspx?id=6415 |website=Parks Canada |publisher=Government of Canada |access-date=9 February 2025}}
