Pinnacle Creek's entire course and drainage area are in southern Wyoming County. It rises in the southeastern extremity of Wyoming County, near the common boundary of Wyoming, McDowell, and Mercer counties, approximately 2 miles (3.2 km) east of Crumpler, and flows generally northwestward to the south end of the town of Pineville, where it flows into the Guyandotte River from the south.

According to 1992 data from the United States Geological Survey, approximately 96% of the Pinnacle Creek watershed was forested; approximately 1% was used for agriculture; and approximately 2% was used for commercial or mining purposes.
