The Leda rises as the Ohe northwest of Spahnharrenstätte in Emsland.

After 24 km, the Ohe joins the Marka just south of the Küstenkanal and 9 km west of Friesoythe to form the Sagter Ems, the historical lifeline of the Saterland, known for its East Frisian language. Between Ramsloh and Strücklingen, the influence of the tides begins.

On the northern edge of the Saterland, the river (47.6 km from its source) takes in the Elisabethfehnkanal, which comes from the moorland to the east.

The name Leda begins half a kilometer further on.

Here there is a cross connection to the Jümme, the Dreyschloot.
It is something like a secondary estuary of the Jümme, through which at high tide,
offset to the wave of the Jümme, water flows upstream into the Barßeler Tief
and at low tide, water from the Barßeler Tief flows into the Leda.

The actual confluence of the Leda with the much more water-rich Jümme
is 15.2 km downstream of the Leda. A good five kilometers after that, the Leda barrage, built between 1949 and 1954,
protects the Leda, Jümme and their tributaries from storm surges.
More than three and a half kilometers further on, a good 72 km from the source in Hümmling,
the Leda flows into the Ems at Unterems kilometer 14.23.

At the mouth, it makes a sharp right turn. As a result, the headland, the Leerort, is unusually located between the right banks of the tributary and the main stream, instead of between the right bank of one and the left bank of the other, as at other mouths. A fortress was built on this headland in the 15th century, the remains of which are now little more than an archaeological monument in the foreland of the dyke. Directly north of the mouth of the Leda was the Leerort fortress, of which only meager remains can be seen in the foreland of the dyke today. South of the mouth lies the Overledingerland (Overledingen = "land beyond the Leda").
The village of Kloster Muhde ("Muhde" from Old Frisian "mutha" = mouth) is located there.

From the dam you have a good view of the mouth of the Leda in the Unterems, but can also go under suitable conditions on a small circular trail closer to the mouth. Or you sit down on the wooden bench, let the calm act on you and maybe you can watch ships.
