The river begins in a field in geographic Derby Township in Georgian Bluffs. It flows southeast, then turns northeast for the remainder of its course. It passes under Ontario Highway 21 at the community of Springmount, and passes over the Niagara Escarpment at Jones Falls.[6] The river then takes in the right tributary Maxwell Creek, enters the municipality of Owen Sound, and reaches its mouth at Georgian Bay.[2][1]
