The Ottertail River is a stream located in the Columbia-Shuswap region of British Columbia, Canada, situated at approximately 51°17′60″N, 116°34′58.8″W. Flowing through a spectacular mountain landscape in the Canadian Rockies, the river runs in close proximity to the Kicking Horse River, which lies just a short distance away, placing the Ottertail within one of western Canada's most scenic and ecologically rich wilderness corridors. The surrounding terrain reflects the dramatic geography of the region, with the river draining through rugged mountain terrain before eventually contributing to the broader Columbia River watershed system.
