The Hay River begins at the city of Cumberland in Barron County, where it flows from Beaver Dam Lake. It flows generally southwardly through western Barron and northern Dunn Counties, past the villages of Prairie Farm and Wheeler. It joins the Red Cedar River in Dunn County as part of Tainter Lake at a settlement of the same name.
Upstream of Wheeler, the river collects the 'South Fork Hay River', which rises in southeastern Polk County and flows south-southeastwardly, past the community of Connorsville.
