Course edit
Vesta Creek begins in Brockton at the confluence of two unnamed streams at an elevation of 260 metres (850 ft)[3] and heads northwest, passes under Bruce County Road 19 and enters Arran–Elderslie. It turns west, flows to the north of the settlement of Vesta, then again heads northwest, and reaches its mouth as a right tributary of the Saugeen River at an elevation of 217 metres (712 ft).[3] The Saugeen River flows to Lake Huron.[1][2][4]
