River course
The Harrys River forms the drain of the 148 m high Georges Lake . It leaves this at its southwestern end and flows in a predominantly southwestern direction to its mouth. After about 10 km, the river passes Gallants Parish , which is on the right bank, and then joins North Brook from the right. Route 460 crosses the river 11.5 km above the mouth . The Harrys River finally flows into the north west bank of an estuary at Stephenville Crossing , which opens to St. George's Bay, a bay in the Gulf of St. Lawrence .
Hydrology
The Harrys River drains an area of about 660 km². The mean discharge at the highway bridge 11.5 km above the mouth is 26.3 m³ / s. With an average of 66 m³ / s, May is the month with the most discharge.
