Watershed
The river has a watershed of 106,500 square kilometres (41,120 sq mi) and a mean discharge of 612 cubic metres (21,613 cu ft) per second. The river is 974 kilometres long to the Muskox Lake outlet, though the river continues further upstream to its source.
Like the Coppermine, Hood, Dubawant or Kazan, which are other large rivers in this part of Canada, it is navigable only by experienced canoeists because of the numerous and challenging 83 rapids.
