Mosquito Creek (Washington)

Mosquito Creek is a stream on the west coast of the Olympic Peninsula in northwestern Washington. The lower reaches of the creek run through high bedrock cliffs in Olympic National Park, while further upstream the creek and its tributaries form a suitable environment used by coho salmon and steelhead trout. Evergreen forest covers the basin, with the portions outside of the national park consisting mainly of timberland. Forest roads and culverts running near the river have caused some environmental damage to its channel.
