It flows mainly between the heights of the High Trans-Volga region along a wide, in places tapering valley. In the upper reaches (from the headwaters to the mouth of the Pilva River), the channel is unstable and meandering, on the floodplain of the oxbow. After the confluence of the Vishera River, it becomes a high-water river; the banks change: the right one remains low and has a predominantly meadow character, the left one almost everywhere becomes elevated and in places steep. There are many islands in this area, there are shoals and rifts. Below the confluence of the Belaya River near the Kama, the right bank becomes high and the left bank low. In the lower reaches, the Kama flows in a wide (up to 15 km) valley, the channel width is 450-1200 m; breaks into sleeves. Below the mouth of the Vyatka, the river flows into the Kamsky Bay of the Kuibyshev reservoir.

All the right tributaries of the Kama (Kosa, Urolka, Kondas, Inva, Lysva, Obva) and part of the left (Veslyana, Lunya, Leman, South Keltma) are flat rivers flowing from the north. Mountain, cold and rapid rivers originate in the Ural Mountains and flow into the Kama on the left (Vishera, Yayva, Kosva, Chusovaya).

The river originates on the eastern slopes of the Ural ridge, in Asia, crosses it and mainly flows along its western slopes, in the European part of Russia, passing twice from the Sverdlovsk region to the Perm region. Chusovaya is adorned with numerous rocks (stones) standing in places where the river crosses mountain ranges. The picturesque shores of the Chusovaya, the presence of numerous attractions have made it a popular tourist attraction in the Urals. Chusovaya originates in a swampy area in the north of the Chelyabinsk region, according to some sources, from Bolshoy Chusovskoye Lake, according to others - from Lake Surny, near the Ufaley station and flows to the north. After 45 km, the river merges with the Western Chusovaya (it originates on the Ufaleiskiy Ridge, after which it flows for about 150 km along the eastern slope of the Ural Mountains). Here, the width of the river bed ranges from 10 to 13 m. In the upper reaches, the Chusovaya receives many tributaries, and the right ones are mostly larger and full-flowing. The river valley in the upper reaches is wide, the slopes are gentle. Between the tributary Revda and the village of Sloboda, on the banks of the Chusovaya, there are outcrops of crystalline shales formed as a result of the interaction of igneous and sedimentary rocks.
The width of the river in the middle reaches is 120-140 m. In the lower reaches, after the town of Chusovoy, after leaving the Ural Mountains, the river is typically flat. The speed of the river slows down, the channel widens in places up to 300 m: Chusovaya slowly flows surrounded by flooded meadows, swamps, deciduous and mixed forests, at times describing wide bends. The river flows into the Chusovskaya bay of the Kama reservoir, formed during the construction of the Kama hydroelectric power station, 693 km from the mouth of the Kama, slightly above the city of Perm. The river is fed mixed, with a predominance of snow (55%). Rainfall is 29%, underground 18%. The bottom of the river along its entire length is mostly rocky and pebble. Chusovaya usually freezes in late October-early December, opens up in April-early May. The lower reaches of the river are characterized by icy congestions and congestions with a rise in the water level up to 2.8 m.
