Course
The Acolin has its source south of the town of Mercy (Allier) in a wooded area covered with many ponds. The source is some {{convert|20|km}} south-east of Moulins. Its basin drains the area between the lower reaches of the Allier in the west and the Besbre to the east. Like its neighbors, it maintains a northerly direction, for more than {{convert|60|km}} and eventually empties into the Loire near the town of Avril-sur-Loire, just downstream from Decize.
