Sourced by runoff from the western slopes of the Great Dividing Range, the river rises south of Crookwell and flows generally northwest by west, joined by one minor tributary, before reaching its confluence with the Lachlan River northwest of Binda and east of Frogmore. The river descends 461 metres (1,512 ft) over its 78-kilometre (48 mi) course.

Etymology

The river was originally named "Crook-ell" by William Stephenson, who originated from Crookhall, Durham, England.
