It initially flows roughly north, then turns largely west for the balance of its course. After crossing into Jackson County, it begins a relatively steep descent, resulting in the namesake "roar" during periods of high flow. The lower portion of its course is designated as a "State Scenic River" under the terms of the Tennessee Wild and Scenic Rivers Act.[2]
The Roaring River empties into the Cordell Hull Lake impoundment of the Cumberland River. A U.S. Army Corps of Engineers recreation area is at and around the actual confluence, which is very near the Jackson County seat of Gainesboro.
