[4][5] It flows generally south-southeast, feeding into the 157-acre Crowder Lake,[6] also known as the Cobb Creek Watershed Dam No.

[7] It continues below the lake, passing through Colony, Oklahoma, after which it turns more southeasterly and crosses into Caddo County.

[9][10] Cobb Creek continues south-southeast below that lake,[11] and ends when it becomes a tributary of the Washita River just southeast of Fort Cobb, Oklahoma.

[12] The creek is a perennial stream maintained by discharge from the Rush Springs Aquifer.

[14] Twelve dams have since been constructed throughout the watershed to control this problem.
