Course

The Jocko River begins at Jocko Lake in geographic Osborne Township;[2][7] the dispersed rural community of Jocko, on the Ontario Northland Railway, is at the head of the lake. The river heads northeast, then turns southeast, a course it thereafter follows all the way to its mouth. The Jocko River passes through geographic Garrow Township[8] and geographic Clarkson Township[9] before entering geographic Jocko Township,[10] where it flows under Ontario Highway 63. It passes into geographic Eddy Township,[11] takes in the right tributary Little Jocko River, and reaches its mouth at the Ottawa River.
