The river lazily winds back and forth with a slow flowage. Its origin is in and around the Cylon Wildlife Area. It passes south of Deer Park about one mile. It then passes threw the towns New Richmond, Boardman, and Burkhardt. Near Burkhardt it inters the Willow River State Park.

In the spring the high water in about 6 ft higher than the summer mean. Although it is possible to canoe or kayak the river is not advised. Trout fishing is general done down river from Boardman.
