It is a major tributary of the North Saskatchewan River. The river was named for Joseph Brazeau, a linguist associated with the Palliser Expedition. The river originates in the heights of the Canadian Rockies from the Brazeau Lake (which is fed by creeks that flow from the Coronet Glacier and Queen Elisabeth Ranges) and flows east through the Rocky Mountains foothills until it merges into the North Saskatchewan River between Drayton Valley and Rocky Mountain House at Brazeau Forks.
