River course

The river rises at The Garden on the north slopes of Mount Laughlen in the MacDonnell Ranges about 60 km northeast of Alice Springs and flows from there to the southeast along the north side of the MacDonnell Ranges. Most of its water seeps away in the western part of the Simpson Desert . Only in very wet years does it continue its course south and flows south of the border with South Australia , in Witjira National Park , into the Finke River .

Tributaries with mouth heights

The Todd River mostly seeps away near the Hale River in the Simpson Desert. Only in very wet years does it overflow into the Hale River.

Flowing lakes

The Hale River flows through a water hole that is usually filled with water even when the river itself is dry:
