Cetina has its source in the northwestern slopes of Dinara, in a small village called Cetina located 7 km north from Vrlika. A large artificial lake begins near Vrlika, the Peru?a lake, which was created by a dam some 25 km downstream. Cetina then passes into the lower portion of the Sinj karst field. After that it runs eastward and then back westward around the Mosor mountain, before flowing into the Adriatic in the city of Omi?.

The latter portion of Cetina and its relatively large drop in altitude was used to build several substantial hydroelectric power plants. Its water is also bottled as Cetina.
