Kettle River (Columbia River)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kettle River is a 175 mile long (282 km) tributary of the Columbia River in northeastern Washington in the United States and southeastern British Columbia in Canada.

From its source in the Monashee Mountains of British Columbia, the river flows south to Midway, British Columbia. Then the river loops south into the United States, through Ferry County, Washington, before flowing north back into Canada, passing by Grand Forks, British Columbia. Then it turns south, entering the United States again. It joins the Columbia River near Kettle Falls, Washington.

According to the USGS, a variant name for the river is Ne-hoi-al-pit-kwu.
