Hoodoo River
River in Canada
The Hoodoo River is a tributary of the Iskut River in the northwest part of the province of British Columbia, Canada, located west of Hoodoo Mountain and the Twin River in Cassiar Land District.[4][7] From its source in Hoodoo Glacier[8] the Hoodoo River flows south for about 10 km (6.2 mi)[5] to the Iskut River northwest of the mouth of the Craig River.
The Hoodoo River's watershed covers 128 km2 (49 sq mi),[6] and its mean annual discharge is an estimated 8.82 m3/s (311 cu ft/s).[6] The river's watershed's land cover is classified as 49.4% snow/glacier, 22.7% barren, 10.6% conifer forest, 9.8% shrubland, and small amounts of other cover.[6]
The mouth of the Hoodoo River is located about 68 km (42 mi) east-northeast of Wrangell, Alaska, about 120 km (75 mi) northwest of Stewart, British Columbia, and about 134 km (83 mi) south of Telegraph Creek, British Columbia.[9][3]
The Hoodoo River is in the traditional territory of the Tlingit, specifically the Shtax'héen Ḵwáan, commonly known as the Stikine River people.[10][11] It is also in the asserted traditional territory of the Tahltan First Nation and Iskut First Nation, of the Tahltan people.[12]
