Domain Creek is a small stream located in the wild, undeveloped area of Kenora District in Northwestern Ontario, Canada. It is part of a huge water system that eventually flows into Hudson Bay. This creek is also a branch, or "tributary," of the Rostoul River. You can find it inside the beautiful Woodland Caribou Provincial Park.
Journey of Domain Creek
Domain Creek starts its journey at the western end of a lake called Domain Lake. From there, it flows west.
Where the Creek Ends
The creek's journey finishes when it reaches the northwest side of Hansen Lake (Kenora District). This is where it joins the larger Rostoul River.
Part of a Bigger Water System
The water from Domain Creek and the Rostoul River travels a long way. It flows into the Gammon River, then the Bloodvein River. After that, it reaches Lake Winnipeg, which is a very large lake. Finally, the water flows through the Nelson River all the way to Hudson Bay. This entire network of rivers and lakes is known as the Hudson Bay drainage basin. A drainage basin is like a giant funnel that collects all the water from a specific area and directs it to a single outlet, in this case, Hudson Bay.
