Little Black Donald Creek (also known as petit ruisseau Black Donald in French) is a small stream located in Greater Madawaska, Renfrew County, in Eastern Ontario, Canada. It's part of a much larger water system that eventually flows into the Saint Lawrence River. This creek is a "left tributary," meaning it flows into the Madawaska River from the left side, joining it at Black Donald Lake.
Where the Creek Flows
Little Black Donald Creek starts its journey at the southern end of a place called Mud Lake. From there, it flows towards the southwest, then makes a turn to head south.
As it continues its path, the creek goes under Renfrew County Road 65. Finally, it reaches its end, or "mouth," at the northern shore of Black Donald Lake. This lake is part of the Madawaska River. The water from the Madawaska River then travels into the Ottawa River, and eventually, all this water makes its way to the huge Saint Lawrence River.
