Buffalo Creek drains a 27.2-square-mile subwatershed of the Des Plaines River Watershed. Fed by several tributaries, Buffalo Creek flows southeast from the Village of Lake Zurich through the Buffalo Creek Reservoir into the Wheeling Drainage Ditch and ultimately to the Des Plaines River in Wheeling. The subwatershed drains portions of south-central Lake County and northern Cook County.
