It continues south over a small dam, takes in the right tributary Partridge Creek, and arrives in the community of Flinton.

The river continues south, takes in the left tributary Little Skootamatta Creek at an elevation of 179 metres (587 ft), and turns west just north of Highway 7.

It reaches its mouth at the Moira River, at an elevation of 152 metres (499 ft), which flows into the Bay of Quinte on Lake Ontario.

At one time, there was a small hydroelectric station on the river near Slave Lake which generated power for a nearby gold mine.

The river is mentioned several times in Michael Ondaatje's novel The English Patient as a place where Hana, one of the novel's main characters, once lived.
