Course

The Gusinaya has its sources in the southeastern shore of Empe-Talalakh lake of the northern end of the Yana-Indigirka Lowland, East Siberian Lowland. The river flows roughly southeastwards across partially swampy tundra until the confluence of the long Alyn-Ergiter-Salaata, after which it turns eastward. Its channel meanders strongly all along among numerous lakes, some of them quite large. In the lower course the river divides into channels and turns southeast and then northeast, before emptying into the Gusinaya Bay of the East Siberian Sea to the south of the mouth of the Volchya.

Tributaries
