[1][Note 1] The creek rises on the south end of a spring-fed marsh area in the northern part of Juab Valley,[Note 2] in eastern Juab County, about 1.85 miles (2.98 km) south‑southeast of the Burriston Ponds, 1 mile (1.6 km) west of Interstate 15, and about 4.4 miles (7.1 km) north‑northwest of the center of the city of Nephi, with an approximate elevation of 4,930 feet (1,500 m).

[6] Still further north it passes west of the city of Mona and, just before entering the Mona Reservoir (also known as Mount Nebo Reservoir), passes under Goshen Canyon Road (formerly State Route 214 (1941-1953).

It then continues north from that highway until it reaches its mouth in a marsh area on the north side of the Goshen Valley at its confluence with the Goshen Bay of Utah Lake, at an elevation of 4,491 feet (1,369 m).

[1] In addition to numerous unnamed springs and streams that contribute to Currant Creek, there are two named tributaries.

It then resumes a north‑northeast course until it empties into the Currant Creek, immediately west of the Burriston Ponds, at an elevation of 4,928 feet (1,502 m).
