Its waters come from Nedlouc lake (area 44 km²). This lake is located about 260 kilometers southwest of Kuujjuaq, Quebec. Having a complex shape, this lake contains two main areas, that are joined together by means of a fast.
The mouth of the lake is located in the northern part of the lake, looking like a tangle of lakes, peninsulas, islands and bays.
From the Nedlouc Lake, the river flows over 5.7 km to the northeast, crosses a lake (elevation: 313 m) over 2,6 km, then flows over 58.9 kilometers to northwest across several fast to its mouth where the current flows on the southern bank of the Leaf River. The mouth of the Nedlouc river is located in front of another river and downstream of Minto lake, as well as 2.3 km downstream from the mouth of rivers Daunais (north shore), downstream of the Irsuaq (south side) and downstream of the Carpenter River (south shore) which are tributaries of the Leaf River.
