The creek begins at Little Michaud Lake[2] in geographic Tyrone Township,[3] and flows north to Michaud Lake.[4] It exits the lake at the northwest and flows northwest to Shkowona Lake, then heads west, passes into geographic Leinster Township,[5] and reaches its mouth at the Onaping River. The Onaping River flows via the Vermilion River and the Spanish River to Lake Huron.
