Course

edit

The creek begins at the outflow from Cariad Lake in geographic Black Township[2] in the municipality of Black River-Matheson, Cochrane District and heads south immediately into geographic Lee Township[3] in the Unorganized West Part of Timiskaming District to reach Verona Lake. It heads east into Burl Lakes, then south through Arras Lake to Tomwool Lake. The creek continues south to reach its mouth at Sarsfield Creek. Sarsfield Creek flows via Meyers Lake, Woollings Creek, the Whiteclay River, the Black River, the Abitibi River and the Moose River to James Bay.

The creek travels through no communities; the nearest is Sesekinika, 9 kilometres (5.6 mi) southeast of the mouth of the creek.
