In Plano the creek passes through the Oak Point Park and Nature Preserve before continuing south into Breckinridge Park in Richardson and then into Garland where it diverts in an eastern direction.[5] The creek flows under the President George Bush Turnpike before reaching the Rowlett Creek Dallas County Nature Preserve, here it flows south before reaching Lake Ray Hubbard in Rowlett.[6]
