The Rattle River rises in the saddle between Middle Moriah and Shelburne Moriah Mountain in the town of Shelburne. The river (better described as a large brook) flows north to the Androscoggin, dropping from 2,800 to 700 feet (850 to 210 m) above sea level over its length.

The Appalachian Trail follows the river from its source to the Androscoggin River valley.
