It flows generally westwards for 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) before turning southwards immediately prior to its junction with the Māwheraiti 2.5 kilometres (1.6 mi) north of the township of Ikamatua. It joins with the similar-sized Snowy River 100 metres (330 ft) before its junction with the Māwheraiti.
