Located in Western Washington, the Tahuya River is an anadromous river that starts at Tahuya Lake. The Tahuya empties into Hood Canal near the town of Great Bend. Streams that flow south of the lake include Gold Creek, Tin Mine Creek, and Grata Creek. Each of these tributaries contains spawning habitat for salmon. In addition to salmon, the Tahuya is home to numerous species of waterfowl.
