Journey of Percy Creek
Where it Starts
Percy Creek begins its journey in an unnamed lake. This lake is found in a place called Moggy Township. From there, the creek starts flowing towards the southwest.
Flowing to Percy Lake
As it continues, Percy Creek reaches the northeast side of Percy Lake. It then flows out of the lake from its western side. The creek keeps moving in a southwest direction.
Reaching the Batchawana River
Percy Creek then enters another area known as Moen Township. Finally, it reaches its end, or mouth, where it joins the larger Batchawana River. The water from the Batchawana River eventually makes its way to Lake Superior.
