The source〔Silves, ''Tourist Guide to the Town and Borough'', By J.D.

The river has a total length of , with its source being above sea level. The mouth of the river empties into the Atlantic Ocean between the city of Portimão and the freguesia of Ferragudo, in Lagoa Municipality.
From the time of the Moors up until the 19th century, the Arade was navigable up to as far as Silves〔Silves, ''Tourist Guide to the Town and Borough'', By J.D. Garcia Domingues (Empresa Litográfica Do Sul, S.A.).〕 about , where an important port used to exist, especially for the cork trade. Nowadays only small boats can go that far.
==Dams==
Part of the reason for the present low water flow (and subsequent silting up) of the river has been the erection of two dams in the middle reaches of the river—the Barragem (Dam) de Arade and above it the Barragem do Funcho.
