The Bilate is a river of south-central Ethiopia. It rises on the southwestern slopes of Mount Gurage near Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found., flowing south along the western side of the Great Rift Valley, to empty into Lake Abaya at Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.. David Buxton recorded its importance as defining the boundary between the Sidamo district on the eastern side, and the Wolaita district on the western; he also describes finding a weekly market beside a ford named Dinto.[1]
This river is not navigable and it has no notable tributaries. Along the middle of its course the Bilate flows past the Bilate River volcanic field.
