It springs out of the Fuente del Cuadrón, in the Prado Cuadrón area close to La Cañada [es].[2][3][4] Flowing southwards along a total length of 27.20 km,[5] it empties in the Alberche, specifically into El Burguillo Reservoir,[6] draining a catchment area of 164.20 km2.[5]
The name Gaznata has been proposed to have a Berber origin, tentatively identified as "Wād-al-Zanāta", Zanāta referring to the Zenata berber tribe.[7]
