The Sheslay River is the left headwaters of the Inklin River in the Canadian province of British Columbia .
It has its origin in the central Boundary Ranges , from whose glaciers it is fed. It flows over a distance of 60 km in a northeast direction to the confluence of the Hackett River from the right. The Sheslay River then flows 90 km north until it joins the Nahlin River from the east to form the Inklin River . The two glacier-fed left tributaries Samotua Creek and Tatsatua Creek flow into the lower reaches of the Sheslay River. The stretch of river below the confluence of the Hackett River is used for rafting .
