The Sandusky River begins at the spring-fed Walton Lake, west of Ontario in western Richland County, and initially flows westwardly through the towns of Crestline and Bucyrus in Crawford County.

In 1970, the river's course between Upper Sandusky and Fremont was designated a State Scenic River by the government of Ohio.
