Logan Run begins on Shamokin Hill, near the southern border of Rush Township. It flows west in a valley for a short distance before turning north for a few tenths of a mile. The stream then turns northwest for some distance and its valley becomes broader and deeper. It then turns roughly north for a few miles, receiving four unnamed tributaries. At this point, the stream crosses State Route 2004 and turns northwest for a short distance. Its valley broadens further. The stream then turns north and receives an unnamed tributary before turning northeast and receiving another unnamed tributary. It then turns north and receives two more unnamed tributaries before turning north-northeast for several tenths of a mile. At this point, the stream crosses Pennsylvania Route 54 and flows north for several tenths of a mile before reaching its confluence with the Susquehanna River. Logan Run joins the Susquehanna River upstream of its mouth.
