The river has its source in Spectacle and Island Ponds in Brighton. Runs northwest through Charleston and falls into Lake Memphremagog in Newport. With the exception of three miles (5 km) of rapids near its mouth, this is a very sluggish stream, passing through in its course, several natural ponds of considerable size. Even during spring high water, there is barely a perceptible current. The river is about 25 miles (40 km) long. It drains the water from about 146 square miles (378 km2).
