Course

The White Chuck River originates on the slopes of Glacier Peak in the Cascade Range, near White Chuck Cinder Cone. [3] It flows generally northwest to join the Sauk River south of Darrington. The Sauk River in turn joins the Skagit River, which empties into Skagit Bay, part of Puget Sound. [4]
