Tahuya River

The Tahuya River is a stream in the U.S. state of Washington.

It originates at Tahuya Lake in western Kitsap Peninsula and flows south, emptying into Hood Canal near the Great Bend.

From the lake the Tahuya River flows south and slightly west.

Numerous small streams and wetlands drain into the river.

It broadens into a muddy bay as it enters Hood Canal near the town of Tahuya.
