It occurs 84 km south-west of Umiat from the confluence of April Kakivilak Creek and Creek in the Brooks Range directly to the Continental Divide. The upper course is located in the Gates -of -the- Arctic National Park. It flows in a northerly direction and empties 6 km northeast of Oolamnagavik River in the Colville River, which flows through the North Slope to the Arctic Ocean.
