Peel River (Canada)

The Peel River is a tributary of the Mackenzie River in the Yukon and Northwest Territories in Canada. Its source is in the Ogilvie Mountains in the central Yukon at the confluence of the Ogilvie River and Blackstone River. Its main tributaries are:
*Ogilvie River

*Hart River
*Wind River (Yukon)

The Peel River joins the Mackenzie in the Mackenzie Delta.
