Skagway River

[1] Flowing slightly northwest after crossing the boundary,[2] it turns south-southwest to meet the sea at the head of Taiya Inlet.

The river is not navigable by raft or canoe or kayak because of the supports under the vehicle bridge and the shallow swiftly-flowing water.

At milepost 5.8, the railroad makes a U-turn, crosses the East Fork, and loops back to follow the main river.

The Skagway River turns to the east and White Pass Fork branches off to the north, opposite milepost 12 of the railroad.

At milepost 14.2, the railroad makes a U-turn, crosses the Skagway River, and loops back to follow White Pass Fork.
