The Snahapish River is a river in the U.S. state of Washington. It is a tributary of the Clearwater River, which in turn flows into the Queets River.
The Snahapish River is 10.7miles long.[3] Its drainage basin is 20sqmi in area.[4]
The Snahapish River originates in the hilly lands on the west side of the Olympic Mountains on the Olympic Peninsula. Its source is a few miles south of the Hoh River and about a mile east of Mount Octopus. The river flows south through a broad valley. It empties into the Clearwater River near Coppermine Bottom Campground. Clearwater Road follows most of the river's course.[5]
