The river passes near Burnstick Lake (both the town and the lake), and then passes very closely to the Clearwater River, which is part of a different watershed altogether.

The river then starts to follow closely to Alberta Highway 54, yet never being crossed by it.

[2] The river then passes not far from Kevisville before emptying into the Red Deer River, which then enters into the artificial Gleniffer Lake formed by Dickson Dam.

[3] Brook trout, longnose sucker, white sucker, and stocked brown trout are the predominant species of fish located in the river.

Being a tributary of the Red Deer River, Raven River likely also contains northern pike, sauger, lake whitefish, yellow perch, burbot, lake sturgeon, mountain whitefish, goldeye, brown trout, bull trout, rainbow trout, brook trout, cutthroat trout, emerald shiner, river shiner, spottail shiner, flathead chub, longnose dace, quillback carpsucker, shorthead redhorse, silver redhorse, trout‐perch, spoonhead sculpine, lake chub, northern pearl dace, northern redbelly dace, finescale dace, fathead minnow, brook stickleback, and muskellunge.
