The 9-mile-long (14 km) stream is a tributary of the Great Miami River.

The stream originates in extreme north-central Warren County in Clearcreek Township, roughly 1.5 miles east of Dayton–Wright Brothers Airport.

It soon thereafter enters south-eastern Montgomery County for the duration of its run.

The stream is a major nature and recreation feature for Washington Township, comprising several parks, green spaces and the Grant Nature Center.
