Painestown River rises in Porterstown, Kilteel. It flows northwestwards, passing under the N7 road at Blackhill. In Painestown it meets two tributaries, the Kill River and the Slane River. The Painestown River continues due north, then passes under the Grand Canal at the Painestown River Aqueduct and passes under the Dublin–Cork railway line in Baronrath. It is then crossed by the Killeenmore Bridge and drains into the Morell River in Turnings Upper, south of Straffan.
