It rises in the Montejunto mountain range, passes through the clusters of Eiras, Abrigada, Atouguia, Ota and Aldeia, in the municipality of Alenquer and flows into the right bank of the Tagus river near Vila Nova da Rainha, side by side with the Alenquer river.
Of its layout stands out, in particular, the “Cannon” of the Ota river valley, which presents geomorphological characteristics of the greatest relevance at a national level.

Hiking
The Ota River has its source in the Montejunto mountain range. It flows through the Ota area and empties into the Alenquer River, which in turn meets the Tagus River near Vila Nova da Rainha. At this point the river is close to the village of the same name, Ota.

Cycling
The area of the springs, on the Ota River, was once a leisure area for the local population, including the local bathing area in the summer. This site remained natural for a long time after the EPAL was installed, but at a certain point, the intensification of agriculture with the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, intensive livestock farming, and urban sewage made the flow from upstream a polluting threat to EPAL's water intakes, and EPAL paved several dozen meters of the river course near the site where it is installed with reinforced concrete.
