Course The Yeloguy has its source in the West Siberian Plain. It forms at the confluence of two short rivers, the Levy Yeloguy and the Pravy Yeloguy, both roughly long. It flows roughly northeastwards across the flatland and in its lower course it meanders in the mostly flat and swampy taiga. About before the mouth, the Crooked Yeloguy (Krivoy Yeloguy) splits to the right and flows roughly parallel to the main river.
The Yeloguy joins the left bank of the Yenisey forming a many-branched delta near Verkhne Imbatskoye (Verkhneimbatsk) village, located on the facing bank of the Yenisey.Поселок Бахта The confluence is located roughly halfway between the mouths of the rivers Sym and Turukhan.Google Earth The river freezes in October and stays frozen until mid-May.
