Q: Where in the world is the Klaskanine River, you ask?
A: The Klaskanine River is a tributary of the Youngs River in northwest Oregon in the United States. It drains a section of the Coast Range in the extreme northwest corner of the state in the watershed of the nearby Columbia River. It rises in three short forks in the mountains in Clatsop County, in the Clatsop State Forest north of Saddle Mountain State Natural Area.
A Native American word, Tlats-kani, refers to a point in the Nehalem Valley but applied to two rivers in the area, the Klaskanine and the Clatskanie.
