The '''Green River''' is the largest tributary of the [[North Fork Toutle River]] in the [[U.S. state]] of [[Washington (state)|Washington]]. Situated near [[Mount St. Helens]] in the [[Cascade Range]] in the southern part of the state, it flows generally west through [[Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument]] and industrial timberlands for {{convert|37.4|mi|km}}. The river drains more than {{convert|130|mi2|km2}} in parts of three Washington counties: [[Skamania County, Washington|Skamania]], [[Lewis County, Washington|Lewis]], and [[Cowlitz County, Washington|Cowlitz]].
As with most other parts of the [[Toutle River]] and [[Cowlitz River]] systems, the upper part of the Green River was heavily affected by the [[1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens]].
==Course==
It rises from snowmelt on the opposite side of a ridge from [[Spirit Lake (Washington)|Spirit Lake]], in the [[Gifford Pinchot National Forest]] in Skamania County. The river initially flows north, but turns northwest after the confluence with Grizzly Creek. Turning west, it crosses into Lewis County, then back south into Skamania, and almost immediately afterwards flows into Cowlitz County. Shultz Creek enters from the left then Devils Creek from the right. The river empties into the North Fork Toutle River near the unincorporated community of [[Toutle, Washington|Toutle]].<ref>{{cite map
