Queets River - Definition and Overview

The Queets River is located in the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State. It rises at the foot of the Queets glacier, on Mount Queets, in the Olympic Mountains, within the Olympic National Park, and drains into the Pacific Ocean, 47 miles away, dropping over 1,000 feet.

A point north of the mouth of the Queets River is referenced as one of the corner boundaries of the Quinault Indian Reservation, in the Treaty of Olympia, 1856, signed at the capital of the Washington Territory.
