course
The river is created by the confluence of its left source brook Wolf Run and its right source brook Martin Run at 465 m in the northeast part of the Highland Township in Elk County. After a short run to the southwest, the Coon Run , the longest tributary on the left, pours out from the left . After the confluence of the Chaffee Run immediately afterwards it turns to the northwest and after the confluence of the Crane Run reaches the Howe Township in Forest County from the right . He passes the Unincorporated community Brookston , where the Fork Run and the Bogus Run flow to him.
Shortly after Brookston, it crosses the Warren County border and now runs into Sheffield Township . From the right, the Cherry Run and the Martin Run as well as the East Branch Tionesta Creek shortly thereafter , before a small settlement follows on the river bank. It passes under the Pennsylvania State Route 666 and shortly afterwards, at 397 m a little south of Sheffield , together with the West Branch Tionesta Creek, forms the Tionesta Creek.
