Hydrology

The Rapid River begins at an unnamed lake at an elevation of 572m (1,877feet). It travels north to Kirsch Lake at an elevation of 498m (1,634feet), where it takes in several unnamed tributaries, including one from the left arriving from Halliday Lake. The river continues to Parker Lake at an elevation of 413m (1,355feet) where it takes in the left tributary Arnold River. It then reaches its mouth at the Cree River at an elevation of 330m (1,080feet). The river's waters flow via the Cree River, the Fond du Lac River and the Mackenzie River to the Arctic Ocean.
