Geography
The Dudidontu River originates near the headwaters of the Little Tahltan River and Egnell Creek, in the Level Mountain Range on the Nahlin Plateau.[5] From its source the river flows west in a U-shaped valley of Level Mountain,[5][6] then south, then by Ketchum Lake,[7] where the Dudidontu turns and flows generally north for the rest of its length, about Шаблон:Convert in total.[8] It flows by Camp Island Lake and between Level Mountain and the Heart Peaks.[9] It is joined by its main tributary, Kakuchuya Creek, and Kakuchuya Creek's main tributary Matsatu Creek, both of which flow from Level Mountain.[10][11]
The middle Dudidontu River, from Camp Island Lake to Шаблон:Convert below Kakuchuya Creek, meanders through a wide floodplain, providing excellent spawning habitat for Chinook salmon. Below this section the lower Dudidontu flows through a Шаблон:Convert long canyon with steep slopes of mud, boulders, and shale, with no vegetation. This section of the river is a series of almost continuous heavy rapids.[12]
The Dudidontu River's watershed's land cover is classified as 37.9% shrubland, 25.3% conifer forest, 22.6% barren, and small amounts of other cover.[3]
