It drains an area of 1,143 mi² (2960 km²).[3] Paint Creek rises in southwestern Madison County and flows initially south-southeastwardly through Fayette County and along the boundaries of Highland and Ross Counties, past the towns of Washington Court House and Greenfield.

Below the dam, Paint Creek flows eastwardly through Ross County, past Bainbridge and just to the south of Chillicothe to its confluence with the Scioto River.[5] TributariesPrincipal tributaries include of Paint Creek include:[4]
