It is 194 kilometres (121 mi) long, and has a drainage basin of 5,160 square kilometres (1,990 sq mi).[1] It originates in the northern part of the republic, passes through its capital, Yoshkar-Ola, and flows to the Kuybyshev Reservoir, Volga near Kokshaysk. The Malaya Kokshaga is mainly fed by snow. From November till April, the river is frozen. The riverbed is meandering; there are many former river beds in the valley.
