The Hwang River originates on the slopes of Sambongsan in Template:Interlanguage link in Geochang. It then joins with various streams, including the Wicheoncheon which flows from the slopes of Deogyusan, and meets the Nakdong at Template:Interlanguage link in Hapcheon County.

Although the name Hwang literally means "yellow", it may be derived from an earlier Korean name "Han" (Script error: No such module "Lang".) meaning "large".[2] Alternatively, the name may have come from a nearby mountain that was known as Hwangsan ("yellow mountain") during the Joseon period.[3]

The Hwang is home to a population of European otters, which are endangered in South Korea.[4]
