* to the northeast, passing through the hamlet of Allen's Mill, collecting the discharge (coming from the north) from a small unidentified lake, going east, then again branching northeast to a bend in the river;
* to the east, branching southeast, to Trudel stream (coming from the north);
* south to the route 367 bridge;
* first south, southeast, then south again, to its mouth.
