The rivers flows between the northern slopes of the Devica and Ozren mountains (on the south) and southern slopes of the Rtanj mountain (on the north), next to the villages of Čitluk (including a coal mine), Vrela and Blendija, reaching the town of Sokobanja, a center of Sokobanja depression and of the whole Banja region.

After the villages of Poružnica and Trubarevac, the Sokobanjska Moravica turns south, curving between the western tip of the Ozren and southern slopes of the Bukovik mountain.

The river continues to the south, in an inverse flow, and after the villages of Subotinac and Kraljevo, it empties into the Južna Morava at the town of Aleksinac.

The lower section, below the dam, is 9km long and highly protected "Fly Fishing Only" stretch, populated with native brown trout (Salmo trutta fario).

The Sokobanjska Moravica belongs to the Black Sea drainage basin, drains an area of 606 km² itself, and it is not navigable.
