Geography

Kaha Creek originates on the north side of the massive Level Mountain shield volcano, near the headwaters of Lost Creek, Matsatu Creek, and Megatushon Creek, about north of Meszah Peak, the highest peak of the Level Mountain Range, a cluster of bare peaks on the summit of Level Mountain. The creek flows north and northwest, first through Level Mountain's high and relatively barren lava plateau, then through rugged forested terrain. In its final Kaha Creek enters the Koshin River's floodplain. It empties into the Koshin River in the wetlands along the river north of Hatin Lake. The historic Yukon Telegraph Trail, following the Koshin River, crosses Kaha Creek near its mouth.
