The river continues to Parker Lake at an elevation of 413 metres (1,355 ft) where it takes in the left tributary Arnold River. It then reaches its mouth at the Cree River at an elevation of 330 metres (1,083 ft). The river's waters flow via the Cree River, the Fond du Lac River and the Mackenzie River to the Arctic Ocean.
