Hood Canal watershed geography
Summer Chum Salmon and the Hood Canal Watershed
Located in western Washington, Hood Canal is not really a canal at all but rather a picturesque glacial fjord that sits in the shape of a backwards checkmark between Puget Sound and the Olympic Peninsula. Five major rivers with upper reaches protected inside Olympic National Park flow east into Hood Canal [along with] countless smaller streams and creeks that flow west from the Kitsap Peninsula.
