Course

The river begins at an unnamed lake in geographic Fabbro Township.[2] It heads southwest through Sixpack Lake and then under Ontario Highway 546, from which point the highway follows the river valley, where it takes in the left tributary Sister River and the right tributary Kindiogami River. It loops back and forth under the highway, continues southwest, takes in the left tributary Boland River and right tributary West Little White River, passes under Ontario Highway 554, and reaches its mouth at the Mississagi River at geographic Wells Township[3] southeast of the community Wharncliffe. The Mississagi River flows to the North Channel on Lake Huron.
