Via the Little Kanawha and Ohio rivers, it is part of the watershed of the Mississippi River, draining an area of {{convert|35|sqmi|km2}}[4] in the city of Parkersburg and its vicinity. Worthington Creek flows for its entire length in northern Wood County. It rises approximately {{convert|1|mi|km}} south of Waverly and flows generally southwestward to Parkersburg, where it flows into the Little Kanawha River from the north,[5] approximately {{convert|1.9|mi|km}} upstream of the Little Kanawha River's mouth.[6] According to the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection, approximately 68% of the Worthington Creek watershed is forested, mostly deciduous. Approximately 23% is used for pasture and agriculture, and approximately 9% is developed.[4] According to the Geographic Names Information System, Worthington Creek has also been known by the name "Worthingtons Creek."[1] See also
