Aishihik River

Originating in Aishihik Lake, it flows south into the Dezadeash River, part of the Alsek River watershed.

[1] Otter Falls, located on the Aishihik River, were pictured on the reverse of the 1954 series of Canadian $5 bills.

The river crosses the Alaska Highway at small outpost called Canyon Creek, Yukon, where a replica of one of the original wooden bridges of the Alaska Highway still stands.
