Kakiddi Creek

Kakiddi Creek originates with several small streams flowing into Kakiddi Lake on the northeastern side of the Mount Edziza volcanic complex, a linear group of volcanoes on the Tahltan Highland. Tennaya Creek is the second named left tributary which flows northeast into Nuttlude Lake. The third named left tributary, Nido Creek, also flows northeast into Nuttlude Lake. Tenchen Creek, the fourth named left tributary, flows northeast into Kakiddi Creek. The fifth named left tributary, Pyramid Creek, flows east into Kakiddi Creek. Tsecha Creek is the sixth named left tributary which flows northeast into Kakiddi Creek. The only named right tributary, Quash Creek, flows west into Kakiddi Creek. Kakiddi Lake and Nuttlude Lake are well populated with rainbow trout and provide fishing in Mount Edziza Provincial Park. Both lakes also provide access to Mount Edziza Provincial Park as they are large enough to be used by float-equipped aircraft. ==Geology==

Kakiddi Creek is the namesake of the Kakiddi Formation, a geological formation of the Mount Edziza volcanic complex. It consists of thick Pleistocene trachyte lava flows and pyroclastic rocks that extend into Kakiddi Valley. A Holocene lava flow from Moraine Cone on the north slope of Mount Edziza entered Kakiddi Creek near its junction with the Klastline River. In doing so, the lava flow temporarily blocked Kakiddi Creek to form a lava-dammed lake. Subsequent etching of this lava dam by Kakiddi Creek has exposed beds of lacustrine silt upstream from the lava. Moraine Cone and the associated lava flow are assigned to the Big Raven Formation, the youngest geological formation of the Mount Edziza volcanic complex. A Holocene lava flow from the eastern slope of the Mount Edziza volcanic complex extends almost to Nuttlude Lake and is also part of the Big Raven Formation. ==See also==
