The Little Deschutes River rises near Mule Peak in the high Cascades in the Mount Thielsen Wilderness in northwestern Klamath County, approximately convert|20|mi|km north of Crater Lake. It flows generally north from the mountains through the Winema National Forest, roughly following U.S. Highway 97 past La Pine. It joins the Deschutes from the south approximately convert|20|mi|km south of Bend in southern Deschutes County.
It passes through the small towns of Crescent and Gilchrist and joins with the Deschutes at Sunriver. The stream meanders significantly most of its course, though this is less pronounced above river mile 80 (which is near its crossing of Oregon Route 58).
