The river rises in several streams on the east side of the Turtle Mountains on both sides of the international border , which converge at Neelin and then runs initially to the northeast and later to the southeast, along the west side of the Pembina Hills .

The right tributary Tongue River flows about 3 kilometers upstream from the confluence of the Pembina River into the Red River of the North from the south.
