Course

Little Etobicoke Creek emerges from a culvert on the south side of Britannia Road East, just east of Tomken Road. It flows southeast, passing under Highway 401, Eglinton Avenue, Eastgate Parkway, Burnhamthorpe Road and Bloor Street, before briefly heading northeast under Dixie Road. It then returns to a southeast path, passing under Dundas Street and the GO Transit Milton line, and finally turns east to its mouth at Etobicoke Creek just north of the Queensway (Peel Regional Road 20).
