The river is 58 kilometres (36 mi) long. Its source is below the summit of Montnegre, elevation 1,186 metres (3,891 ft). The river passes through the village of Pont de Molins and passes through the Boadella Reservoir, where the river is dammed.

The Muga Valley was entrusted to the County of Empúries by Ramon Berenguer III after being in the County of Besalú. The local population suffered in both the Peninsular War and Spanish Civil War.
