Red Clay Creek - Course

Course

The East and West branches both rise in West Marlborough Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania, near the hamlet of Upland, and flow south through Kennett Square before uniting just north of the Delaware border. The stream enters Delaware near the town of Yorklyn and flows southward through New Castle County, passing through Marshallton. White Clay Creek empties into the Red Clay Creek near Stanton, approximately 5 miles (8.0 km) southwest of Wilmington. Ultimately, Red Clay Creek enters the Christiana River, also near Stanton.

Among the creek's tributaries is Calf Run, located in the southeast of Mill Creek Hundred, and Pyle's Run, located in Christiana Hundred.
