The Koshin River originates on the north side of Level Mountain on the Nahlin Plateau. From its source the river flows generally north for about . From its source it first flows northwest to Hatin Lake, just west of Callison Ranch. This headwater reach of the Koshin River lies just north of Matsatu Creek. From Hatin Lake the Koshin River flows north along a meandering course with many wetlands. Lost Creek joins the Koshin, flowing northwest from Level Mountain. A few kilometres downriver Kaha Creek joins the Koshin, also flowing northwest from Level Mountain. Continuing north the Koshin River passes by a number of lakes, including Tedideech Lake, before emptying into the Nahlin River at Nahlin Crossing. The historic Yukon Telegraph Trail follows much of the Koshin River, passing through Callison Ranch and running north along the river to Nahlin Crossing. See also
