The river flows north then east through a series of lakes (Bannock Lake and Charcoal Lake) in Saskatchewan and then flows in a southerly direction through lakes (Misty Lake and Lac Brochet) in Manitoba[5] before entering Brochet Bay on the north-eastern end of the Manitoba section of Reindeer Lake.

The remote Manitoba community of Lac Brochet is located on Lac Brochet, and Brochet and Barren Lands are near the river's mouth.[5]
