The Antler River is an approximately 280 km long river that rises 10 km east of Keno Lake .

Most of it is on Canadian territory, with only five kilometers of the river in the US state of North Dakota . Its course initially leads southwards, at Carnduff it changes its route to the southeast. Finally it flows into the Souris River north of the small village of Coulter near a campsite . The Antler River flows almost exclusively through agricultural land. Nevertheless, it meanders consistently, as its course is not restricted. There are also smaller towns along the river, such as Parkman and Cantal . Its main tributaries are Weatherald Creek , Lightning Creek, and Auburnton Creek .
