The Hackett River is a tributary of the Sheslay River in northwest part of the province of British Columbia, Canada.[4] It flows generally northwest about 33 km (21 mi),[5] through two lakes, a wetland, and a gorge, to join the Sheslay River, which in turn is a tributary of the Inklin River, the main southeast fork of the Taku River.
The Hackett River's watershed covers 528 km2 (204 sq mi),[6] and its estimated mean annual discharge is 7.28 m3/s (257 cu ft/s).[6] The mouth of the Hackett River is located about 55 km (34 mi) northwest of Telegraph Creek, British Columbia, about 150 km (93 mi) east of Juneau, Alaska, and about 330 km (210 mi) southeast of Whitehorse, Yukon. The Hackett River's watershed's land cover is classified as 35.2% conifer forest, 30.5% shrubland, 11.8% mixed forest, 11.6% barren, 5.4% herbaceous, and small amounts of other cover.[6]
