Blue Creek rises in central White County, Georgia, just northeast of Cleveland and just east of State Route 75.[2] The creek runs south and southeast until it crosses State Route 255, then turns northeast and back to the east, before flowing into the Chattahoochee River less than 1 mile south of the confluence of Amys Creek and the Chattahoochee.[3]
