The river flows generally south by east, in a highly meandering course, joined by eleven tributaries including the Dry, Humffray, Moroka, Wongungarra and Dargo rivers, before reaching its confluence with the Wentworth River and Swamp Creek to form the Mitchell River north of the Mitchell River National Park, in the Shire of East Gippsland. The river descends 1,110 metres (3,640 ft) over its 151-kilometre (94 mi) course. [5]
At the locality of Riverford, the Dargo Road traverses the river. [5]
