Aishihik River

Aishihik River

The Aishihik River, also know as Canyon Creek, is a river in the Yukon Territory of Canada. Originating in Aishihik Lake, it flows south into the Dezadeash River, part of the Alsek River watershed.

Otter Falls, along the Aishihik River, were pictured on the reverse of the 1954 series of Canadian $5 bills. Flows on the northern portion of the river, including Otter Falls, are considerably reduced because of a hydroelectric dam and station onwed by the Yukon Energy Corporation. The Aishihik Road mainly follows the river.

The river crosses the Alaska Highway at the small community of Canyon Creek, Yukon, where there is one of the original Alaska Highway wooden bridges.
