The name Alouette, French for "lark", was ostensibly chosen because it sounds similar to Lillooet.

The smaller of the two, the North Alouette flows from Jacobs Lake south to its confluence with the South Alouette.

The river flows over a minor set of falls about halfway from its mouth.

After exiting the lake the river flows west before converging with the North Alouette.
