Sawmill Creek[3] is a creek located in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. It is a tributary of the Rideau River. It rises in the wetlands south and southwest of the community of Blossom Park in the Ottawa Greenbelt, specifically south of Lester Road.[1] It flows roughly north by northwest through Blossom Park, and the neighbourhood of South Keys, through the McCarthy Woods, and then separates the neighbourhood of Riverside Park on the west from the neighbourhoods of Ellwood and Heron Park on the east, before entering the Rideau River at Billings Bridge, near the intersection of Bank Street and Riverside Drive.
