It flows east, passes under County Road 45, continues east through a portion of Peter's Woods Provincial Park,[6] and reaches the community of Burnley where it flows under County Road 29. Burnley Creek passes into geographic Percy Township in the municipality of Trent Hills, and flows through the former mill pond of the community of Warkworth. The creek continues east and reaches its mouth at Percy Creek, about 3.5 kilometres (2.2 mi) southwest of the community of Meyersburg.[3] Percy Creek flows via the Trent River to the Bay of Quinte on Lake Ontario.
