The Bachelor River flows into a narrow bay on the Southeast shore of Lake Waswanipi; this mouth is located nearby (North side) of the Canadian National Railway track. From this mouth, the current flows northward, on the Lake Waswanipi, to its mouth. From there, the current flows first North through the Waswanipi River, then West to the East shore of Goéland Lake (Waswanipi River). The latter is crossed to the Northwest by the Waswanipi River which is a tributary of Matagami Lake.
