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. The confluence is located roughly halfway between the mouths of the rivers
Sym and
Turukhan. The river freezes in October and stays frozen until mid-May. Its main tributaries are the
Kellog,
Bolshaya Sigovaya and the
Tyna. ==Protected area==
