Journey of the Creek
Speckled Trout Creek starts its journey from a lake that doesn't have a name. From there, it flows towards the north.
Where it Flows
As it travels, another smaller stream joins it. This stream is called Massey Creek. The creek then goes under an old railway line. It also flows under a road called West Bay Road.
Reaching the Lake
The creek passes by a small area known as Boland's Bay. Finally, Speckled Trout Creek reaches its end. It flows into Lake Wanapitei.
Part of a Bigger System
Speckled Trout Creek is part of a much larger water system. This system is called the Great Lakes Basin.
From Creek to Ocean
Water from Lake Wanapitei flows into the Wanapitei River. The Wanapitei River then joins the French River. The French River eventually empties into Georgian Bay. Georgian Bay is a part of Lake Huron. Lake Huron is one of the five Great Lakes.
