Location of the mouth of the creek in southern Ontario

Salem Creek is a stream in the municipal township of Cramahe, Northhumberland County in Central Ontario, Canada.[1][2][3] It is in the Great Lakes Basin and is a tributary of Lake Ontario. The creek takes its name from the community of Salem which it flows past.

Salem Creek begins in a field just south of Ontario Highway 401 and flows south, past Salem Hill[4] and the community of Salem. It heads under County Road 2 (formerly Ontario Highway 2), under the Canadian National Railway and Canadian Pacific Railway mainlines, and reaches its mouth at Lake Ontario.
