The source of the Yegoshikha river is in the forest area close to Lipovaya Gora and Vladimirskiy microdistricts.

The river flows along the Yegoshikha ravine, which divides the left-bank (relatively to Kama) part of Perm city and is crossed by two dams and a bridge (which is also called a dam by the general population).

The Yegoshikha flows into the Kama close to Perm's river port.

The Yegoshikha rivers history has the earliest mention of a settlement in the territory of Perm city, being first described in the Prokopiy Elizarov census book in 1647.

In 1723, after copper deposits were discovered there, the Yegoshikha Copper Factory was founded on its banks by Vasily Tatishchev, who was the then Chief Manager of all of the factories in the Ural region.
