Journey of Grindstone Creek
Grindstone Creek starts its journey in a lake that doesn't have a name, located in Rioux Township. From there, it flows towards the southwest. It then passes through another unnamed lake.
Through the Lakes
The creek keeps moving southwest into a place called Upper Grindstone Lake. This lake also stretches southwest into Wagg Township. After that, the creek continues its path into Grindstone Lake. This lake also trends southwest into Dagle Township.
Final Stretch
Grindstone Creek leaves Grindstone Lake from its southwest side. It keeps flowing southwest and goes under Ontario Highway 129. Finally, it reaches its end point, joining the larger Mississagi River. The Mississagi River then flows into the North Channel of Lake Huron.
