The river has a total length of {{convert|84|km|mi|0}} and rises near Goonac siding then flows in a north-westerly direction until discharging into the Leschenault Estuary.[4] The headwaters are {{convert|80|km|mi|0}} inland within the Darling Range and run across the Blackwood Plateau and the Swan Coastal Plain. The majority of the river catchment has been cleared for agriculture although some remnant forest vegetation exists at the headwaters. The towns of Donnybrook and Boyanup are on the shores of the Preston River. The major tributaries of the river include the Ferguson River and Joshua Creek. Minor tributaries include Thomson Brook, Crooked Brook, Charley Creek, Waterfall Gully, Mininup Brook, Millbrook and Gavin Guly. The Glen Mervyn Dam is along the Preston River. The river basin is monitored routinely as a result of eutrophication problems within the Leschenault Inlet. The water quality is fresh in many places and generally low in nutrients although some areas are slightly enriched with nitrogen.[5] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://maps.bonzle.com/c/a?a=p&cmd=sp&p=207343&st=&s=Preston%20River|title=Bonzle Digital Atlas - Map of Preston River, WA|year= 2008|accessdate= 23 November 2008}} {{coord|33|5|36|S|115|42|51|E|type:river_region:AU-WA|display=title}}{{Rivers of Western Australia}}2. ^{{cite web|url=http://adl.brs.gov.au/water2010/pdf/monthly_reports/awap_611_report.pdf|title=Australian Government - Bureau of Rural Sciences - Preston River|year= 2008|accessdate= 23 November 2008}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.anra.gov.au/topics/economics/costs-returns/wa/basin-preston-river.html|title=Australian Natural Resources Atlas - Economics - Preston River|year= 2007|accessdate= 23 November 2008}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.dec.wa.gov.au/component/option,com_docman/gid,1655/task,doc_download/|title=The Leschenault Estuary - A changing environment|year=2007|accessdate=23 November 2008|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110720002847/http://www.dec.wa.gov.au/component/option%2Ccom_docman/gid%2C1655/task%2Cdoc_download/|archivedate=20 July 2011|df=dmy-all}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.anra.gov.au/topics/water/quality/wa/basin-preston-river.html|title=Australian Natural Resources Atlas - Preston River Basin|year=2007|accessdate=23 November 2008}} 3 : Rivers of Western Australia|Swan Coastal Plain|South West (Western Australia) |
