Course and features

Sourced from the western slopes of the Great Dividing Range, the river rises at the confluence of Deepwater River and Bluff River, west of Sandy Flat, and flows generally to the west before reaching its confluence with the Dumaresq River, near the village of Mole River; descending 252 metres (827 ft) over its 73 kilometres (45 mi) course.

The Mole River is one of the remotest headwaters of the Murray-Darling basin; and the area drained is hilly and rocky.

In 2007, Tenterfield Shire Council called for a dam to be constructed on the Mole River.
