The Berd begins on the western slopes of the Salair ridge, flows in Altai Krai territory and the rest in Novosibirsk Oblast. The river empties into the Novosibirsk Reservoir, which submerged of the original Berd river after construction.
The Berd is long and was formerly long. Its drainage basin covers. The Ik is a tributary flowing into it from the north.
