The Skagit River rises at [[Allison Pass]] in the [[Canadian Cascades]] of [[British Columbia]]. From there it flows northwest along the [[Crowsnest Highway]], which follows the river into [[Manning Provincial Park]]. It turns abruptly south where it receives Snass Creek from the right, then receives the Klesilkwa River from the left, and turns southeast to flow past the [[Canada-United States border]] and into [[Ross Lake]] in [[Washington (U.S. state)|Washington]] state.
Ross Lake is formed by [[Ross Dam]] and is approximately {{convert|24|mi|km}} long, winding south through [[Ross Lake National Recreation Area]]. Here the river receives Beaver Creek from the right and Ruby Creek from the left. Spilling out of the dam the river enters Diablo Lake, formed by [[Diablo Dam]], and receives Thunder Creek and Colonial Creek from the left, then enters the third and final reservoir, Gorge Lake, formed by Gorge Dam. All three dams are part of the [[Skagit River Hydroelectric Project]].
