The Malad Gorge is 250 feet (76 m) deep and 2.5 miles (4.0 km) long. The river's flow is affected by numerous reservoirs and irrigation works on its tributaries. The Malad River itself is largely diverted into a power flume that enters the Snake below the mouth of the Malad, via a powerhouse.
The river flows southward, beginning northwest of Malad City, Idaho, crosses the Idaho-Utah state line just north of Portage, Utah, flows through Tremonton, and empties into the Bear River just south of Bear River City. Malad River was so named on account of the river making pioneers sick, malade meaning "sick" in French. [4]
