Darlington Creek

Darlington Creek is a small watercourse that drains into Lake Ontario in Darlington, Ontario.[1] It drains 1,636 hectares (6.32 sq mi).

Groundwater discharge from the bluffs left from glacial Lake Iroquois feed the headwaters of Darlington Creek.[2]

The watersheds of four other watercourses border the creek.[1] The longest, Bowmanville Creek, to the east, has its headwaters in the Oak Ridges Moraine. The other three watersheds were Tooley Creek, Farewell Creek, and Westside Creek.

It is believed that groundwater discharge from the Iroquois Beach deposits and the lower sediments makes significant contributions to the upper reaches of the following Creeks that originate in the southern part of the study area: Pringle Creek, Corbett Creek, Robinson Creek, Tooley Creek, Darlington Creek, Westside Creek and Bennett Creek.
