It rises in the Mertie Mountains, then flows first north-west, then in a northeasterly direction and flows 90 km northwest of Eagle in the Yukon River.

The river crosses in its course three distinct topographical regions. First, wide valleys in the highlands, surrounded by mountains with an altitude of up to 2000 m, then deeply incised river valleys between rocks and cliffs and finally open floodplains, where he meanders with low flow rate through the lowlands of the Yukon.
