Course edit

The MacFarlane River begins at Rocky Lake and heads southwest reaching Bluff Lake and the unincorporated place of Brinka. It continues southwest to Grindstone Lake, where it takes in the left tributary Boot Creek, then to Basket Lake and the community of Redditt. The river continues southwest to Corn Lake, where it takes in the left tributary Talbot Creek, passes out, takes in the left tributary Whitney Creek and reaches Ena Lake, where it takes in the right tributary Octopus Creek. It continues southwest over a control dam, and reaches its mouth at the Winnipeg River. For almost the entire course, the river is paralleled by the Canadian National Railway transcontinental main line,[1]
