[edit]

Silver Lake Creek begins at Silver Lake at an elevation of 178 metres (584 ft),[3] at that point within Silver Lake Provincial Park. It heads south, exits the park, then turns southeast, passes under Ontario Highway 7, and reaches its mouth at the Fall River, at an elevation of 177 metres (581 ft).[3] The Fall River flows via the Mississippi River to Lac des Chats on the Ottawa River.[1][2][4]
