The Popelogan River is a tributary of the Upsalquitch River. It flows through the parish of Addington in Restigouche County in north-west New Brunswick, Canada.

In its course to the south, the Popelogan River flows through a valley in a terrain that becomes increasingly mountainous as it nears the Upsalquitch. Its main tributaries are the Gordon Brook and the Lake Popelogan Branch, which supplies Popelogan Lake. The upper part of the river is served by a forest road from Popelogan Depot.

Geography

Popelogan River rises in the western part of White Meadows in the parish of Addington, 0.7 kilometres (0.43 mi) west of the boundary of the parish's boundary with the parish of Balmoral. The upper part of the river flows south-west into a small valley, which extends towards the north-east towards the watershed of the Goullette Brook, a tributary of the Charlo River.

The source of the Popelogan River is located in a forest area:

• 15.0 kilometres (9.3 mi) north-east of the confluence of the Popelogan River;
