It flows generally west, through Red River Gorge in the Daniel Boone National Forest, then past Stanton and Clay City. It joins the Kentucky approximately {{convert|11|mi}} southeast of Winchester. In 1993, a {{convert|20|mi|adj=on}} stretch of the river in the Red River Gorge was designated by the federal government as a National Wild and Scenic River.
