Gudenåen har sit udspring i Tinnet Krat nordvest for Tørring i Vejle Kommune, 72 meter over havet (55°54'07?N 09°24'03?Ø) og udmunder i bunden af Randers Fjord, som traditionelt regnes for at starte ved Randersbro (56°27'23?N 10°01'34?Ø). Men undertiden regnes stykket fra Randersbro østpå til sammenløbet med Grund Fjord ved Uggelhuse som en del af Gudenåen, hvorfor åen nogle steder angives at have en længde på 160 km.

Gudenåen has its spring in Tinnet Krat, Vejle Municipality (between Nørre Snede and Tørring-Uldum) and flows a total of 149 kilometres (93 mi) to Randers Fjord in Randers[1], on a northward course which takes it through the central parts of Jutland. On its way, the river traverses the relatively high lying region of Søhøjlandet, through the lakes of Naldal Sø, Vestbirk Sø, Mossø, Gudensø, Rye Mølle Sø, Birksø, Julsø, Borre Sø, Brassø, Silkeborg Langsø and Sminge Sø before it empties in Randers Fjord; a long inlet of the Kattegat sea. It is fed by numerous streams and wetlands along the way.

Gudenåen came into existence some 15,000 years ago, at the end of the last Ice Age, when melting ice and glacial streams carved out its bed. The river shelters many species of animals and parts of its run, is to be protected under the regulations of Natura 2000.
