Yakoun River

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Yakoun River is the largest river in the Queen Charlotte Islands of the North Coast of British Columbia, Canada. Approximately 55-60 km in length , it is located on Graham Island, the northernmost and largest of the archipelago, and runs in a twisting course generally northwards from Yakoun Lake, which lies near the island's south-central region, just northwards over Slatechuck Mountain from Skidegate Inlet, entering saltwater at Masset Inlet, a large saltwater bay located in the heart of the island.

The Yakoun was the location, until its destruction, of Kiidk'yaas, a unique gold-tined sitka spruce.
