 Location of the river |

The Elaho River is a 65 km long right tributary of the Squamish River in the southwest of the Canadian province of British Columbia .
The Elaho River is fed by the Elaho Glacier in the Elaho Range , a mountain range in the Pacific Ranges . It flows initially in a south-easterly direction, later in a southerly direction through the mountains. To the east rises the mountain range of the Pemberton Icefield . From the right, he takes up the tributaries of Clendinning Creek and Sims Creek . In the lower reaches, it turns south-southeast and finally meets the Squamish River. The Elaho River drains an area of about 1200 km². The mean discharge is 104 m³ / s. The highest discharges are usually measured during the melting of the glaciers in the months of June to August.
