Indian Creek (Elwha River)
- Indian Creek (Elwha River)
Indian Creek is a tributary of the Elwha River located in Washington in the United States.
Indian Creek flows from Lake Sutherland into Lake Aldwell. Historically, Indian Creek supported runs of several anadromous salmon and trout species, including all five species of Pacific Salmon. However, with construction of the Elwha Dam in 1913, fish were blocked from accessing the Pacific Ocean.
Today, Indian Creek sustains populations of kokanee sockeye salmon, which spawn in Lake Sutherland and migrate to Lake Aldwell to use as their ocean. It also contains landlocked rainbow trout, coastal cutthroat trout, and introduced eastern brook trout.
It is expected, with the removal of the Elwha Dam in 2012, that these native salmonids will return to their anadromous lifestyle.
