Big Creek is situated in primer agricultural land in southwestern Ontario. The basin has an area of 728 km super(2), while the Creek runs for the most part in a north-south direction for a length of 56 km and empties into Lake Erie at Long Point Bay. A large portion of the watershed is dominated by the Norfolk sand plain with thicknesses of 5 to 15 m not uncommon. Some of Ontario's best tobacco producing areas lie within the Big Creek watershed where soil fumigants are used extensively for the control of nematodes and black root rot which result in the stunting of tobacco.
