The Kettle River is a 281-kilometre tributary of the Columbia River, encompassing a 10,877-square-kilometre drainage basin, of which 8,228 square kilometres are in southern British Columbia, Canada and 2,649 square kilometres in northeastern Washington, US.
The indigenous name of the river in the Okanagan language is nxʷyaʔłpítkʷ Although British officials used this name, Kettle River was in popular use by 1860. The most likely name origin is from the Kettle Falls, which early explorers called "La Chaudiére" , because of the effervescent water. A possible alternative is the round holes, shaped like cauldrons, which water had hollowed out in the rocks.
