It turns south through northeast Montcalm County and Gratiot County, where it turns to the northeast, continuing through the cities of Alma and St. Louis. It enters Midland County and joins the Chippewa River at 43°36′06″N 84°17′33″W / 43.60167°N 84.29250°W approximately two miles before the Chippewa joins the Tittabawassee River on the west side of the city of Midland.
