The Dazemard River originates at the mouth of Betty Lake (length: 3.2 kilometres (2.0 mi) altitude: 391 metres (1,283 ft)) in the township of Souart, in Senneterre at:

• 18.8 kilometres (11.7 mi) south-east of the mouth of the Dazemard River;
• 39.4 kilometres (24.5 mi) south-east of the mouth of the Wetetnagami River;
• 7.3 kilometres (4.5 mi) west of Maseres Lake (which is crossed to the south by the Macho River]];
• 14.1 kilometres (8.8 mi) northeast of Wetetnagami Lake.

From its source, the Dazemard River flows over 30.0 kilometres (18.6 mi) according to the following segments:

• 8.5 kilometres (5.3 mi) to the north in the canton of Souart, more or less along the boundary of the townships of Souart and Moquin and crossing the Altherr Lake (length: 2.6 kilometres (1.6 mi) altitude: 389 metres (1,276 ft)) to the southeastern shore of Lake Albert;
• 3.3 kilometres (2.1 mi) northwesterly across Lake Albert (elevation: 388 metres (1,273 ft)) on its full length, which straddles the townships of Souart and Moquin, up to at its mouth;
• 8.0 kilometres (5.0 mi) north in Moquin Township and entering Effiat Township to the mouth of an unidentified lake (length: 1.6 kilometres (0.99 mi); altitude: 383 metres (1,257 ft)) that the current flows through its full length;
• 10.2 kilometres (6.3 mi) northwesterly winding to its mouth.

The Dazemard River flows into a river bend on the east bank of the Wetetnagami River flowing north and discharging into Nicobi Lake. The latter is the head lake of the Nicobi River. The latter flows north to discharge on the southeast bank of the Opawica River. The latter goes back to the north until it meets the Chibougamau River; this confluence is the source of the Waswanipi River. The course flows westward through the northern portion of lake Waswanipi, Goéland Lake and Olga Lake, before pouring into the Matagami Lake which in turn flows into the Nottaway River, a tributary of Rupert Bay (James Bay).

• 23.2 kilometres (14.4 mi) south of the mouth of the Wetetnagami River (confluence with Nicobi Lake);
• 44.3 kilometres (27.5 mi) south of the mouth of the Nicobi River (confluence with the Opawica River);
