    Hiking

    The river originates in the Canadian part of the Northern Cascades, where it rises in Manning Provincial Park. After initially running northwest parallel to the Crowsnest Highway, it turns south when it reaches the Skagit Range and flows through Skagit Valley Provincial Park to empty into Ross Lake near the border with the United States, the first of three reservoirs created as part of the Skagit River Hydroelectric Project. The following, smaller reservoirs are Diablo Lake and Gorge Lake. All three reservoirs are located in the Ross Lake National Recreation Area.
