Klehini River

Klehini River

.

The Klehini River is approximately 36 miles long (58 km) from its source in British Columbia to its mouth at the Chilkat River, of which it is the largest tributary. The Klehini River is renowned for its salmon runs, its biannual congregation of bald eagles — the second largest in the Haines area after the Chilkat River's Council Grounds — and for the Klehini Falls, a series of four cataracts near the river’s headwaters. The Klehini also delineates the northern boundary of the Chilkat Range.

The lower Klehini is located within the Alaska Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve.
