The river valley gradually narrows; at 7-14 miles of its course, Alagnak flows through a narrow canyon. At the twentieth mile of its course, the influx of Nonvianuk takes. In the lower reaches, the river meanders along the territory of the Alaska Peninsula . It flows into the Kvichak River, which in turn carries its waters to the Bristol Bay of the Bering Sea . The length of the river is 103 km; the pool area is approximately 3600 km².
