About Kelsey Creek

Kelsey Creek is a part of a larger water system. It helps carry water from the land into the Black River. The Black River then flows into Lake Ontario, one of the Great Lakes.

The area that drains into Kelsey Creek is called its basin. This basin covers about 8.3 square miles (21.5 square kilometers). This means all the rain and snow that falls in this area eventually flows into Kelsey Creek.

The mouth of Kelsey Creek, where it joins the Black River, is about 371 feet (113 meters) above sea level. This small creek plays a role in the local environment and the flow of water in the region.
