It flows north for several tenths of a mile, passing through three more ponds, before turning west-northwest.

It eventually makes several meanders in a northwesterly direction, receiving three unnamed tributaries from the left and one from the right.

The creek then flows north-northwest through a water gap in Mahantango Mountain for a few tenths of a mile, entering Pillow.
