The Right Fork Little Kanawha River rises in extreme southeastern Upshur County, approximately 4 miles (6.4 km) west of Helvetia, and flows generally westward along the boundary between Upshur and Webster counties; then along the boundary between Lewis and Webster counties, through the community of Cleveland. Near its mouth it flows through a small portion of the eastern extremity of Braxton County, and flows into the Little Kanawha River from the south near the boundary between Braxton and Lewis counties, approximately 2 miles (3.2 km) southwest of the community of Wildcat.

Upstream of Cleveland the Right Fork collects a tributary named Left Fork Right Fork Little Kanawha River, which flows westward for 7.1 miles (11.4 km) through southern Upshur County.
