Nanticoke Creek, which drains about 180 square kilometres, begins as a cool water fishery in the Norfolk Sand Plain with groundwater-fed base flows. From there it enters a series of lakes, ponds, and wetlands called the Waterford Ponds. It changes to a warm water fishery after it passes into the Haldimand Clay Plain past Waterford. It enters Lake Erie at Nanticoke.
