Elzevir Creek begins at an unnamed lake, about 10 kilometres (6 mi) west of the community of Flinton, at an elevation of 257 metres (843 ft). It flows southeast into Elzevir Lake, then follows a circuitous route to reach its mouth at the Skootamatta River, just north of Highway 7, at the community of Actinolite and at an elevation of 174 metres (571 ft). The Skootamatta River flows via the Moira River into the Bay of Quinte on Lake Ontario at Belleville.
