The primary inflows are Sarsfield Creek at the west; Woollings Creek at northwest; and Benoit Creek at the northeast. There is one unnamed secondary inflow at the north. The primary outflow, at the east, is also Woollings Creek, which heads southeast to its mouth at Swan Lake. The latter lake empties via the Whiteclay River, the Black River, the Abitibi River and the Moose River to James Bay.
