The creek begins in St. Clair at the confluence of Bear Creek (right) and Black Creek (left), at an elevation of 177 metres (581 ft),[2] east of the community of Wilkesport. It flows first southwest, then southeast, then heads south. The river enters Chatham-Kent, takes in the right tributary Running Creek, and reaches its mouth at the Sydenham River, at an elevation of 175 metres (574 ft), at the community of Wallaceburg.[2] The Sydenham River flows via the Chenail Ecarté (The Snye), Lake St. Clair and the Detroit River to Lake Erie.[3][1][4]
