Course[]

Wesleys Creek begins at the confluence of two unnamed streams in Tay Valley, at an elevation of 212 metres (696 ft).[3] It flows southwest, and enters Central Frontenac. The creek then jogs northwest, southwest, south, and finally southeast, and reaches its mouth at Silver Lake, at an elevation of 178 metres (584 ft).[3] Silver Lake flows via Silver Lake Creek, the Fall River and the Mississippi River to Lac des Chats on the Ottawa River.[1][2][4]

The creek has numerous unnamed but no named inflows.
