It flows southeast to Redstone Lake, then heads northeast through the northwest strip of the Unorganized West Part of Timiskaming District and onward into the city of Timmins in Cochrane District. The river then reaches its mouth at the western side of Night Hawk Lake at an elevation of 274 metres (899 ft). The lake empties via the Frederick House River, the Abitibi River and the Moose River to James Bay.
