The Karassuk rises about 100 km southwest of Novosibirsk at an altitude of about 190  m . It flows - always on the territory of Novosibirsk Oblast - in a wide valley in a south-westerly direction through the southern part of the Barabasteppe , past the district administrative centers of Kochki and Krasnosjorskoye as well as the city of Karassuk , until it ends in a drainless basin with smaller lakes and swamps at the Kazakh border loses (at about 105  m ). When the water level is high, part of the water flows east of the city of Karassuk in a southerly direction over the Chuman ( Чуман ) to the river Burla ( Бурла ), another part in a northerly direction over the arm Baganjonok ( Баганёнок ) to the river Bagan ( Баган ).

The catchment area of the Karassuk covers 11,300 km². In the lower reaches, the water flow of the river decreases continuously through seepage and evaporation: at the end it is only about 15 m wide, 2 m deep, the flow speed is 0.1 m / s. The Karassuk has no major tributaries.
