Overflowing River is a river in the Canadian provinces of Manitoba and Saskatchewan. It begins in Saskatchewan at Overflow Lake in the Pasquia Provincial Forest and flows in a generally eastward direction into Manitoba and then Lake Winnipegosis. The river traverses boreal forests and muskeg in the Boreal Plains Ecozone, moving from the Mid-Boreal Upland of the Pasquia Hills east to the Mid-Boreal Lowland.
