Course

The stream begins at an unnamed lake in geographic Rioux Township.[2][5] It flows southwest to another unnamed lake and continues southwest into Upper Grindstone Lake. The lake trends southwest into the northwest corner of geographic Wagg Township;[2][6] the creek then flows southwest into Grindstone Lake. The lake trends southwest into geographic Dagle Township.[2][7] Grindstone Creek leaves Grindstone Lake at the southwest, continues in a southwest direction, passes under Ontario Highway 129, and reaches its mouth at the Mississagi River. The Mississagi River flows to the North Channel on Lake Huron.
