The Innoko River is a river in western Alaska. It flows north from its origin south of Cloudy Mountain in the Kuskokwim Mountains and then flows southwest to its end at the Yukon River, across from Holy Cross, Alaska.
The river is about 500 miles (805 km) long. Most of its upper portion flows through the Innoko National Wildlife Refuge.
Innoko is a Deg Hit’an name for the river. The Russian colonial administrators also called the river Shiltonotno, Legon or Tlegon, Chagelyuk or Shageluk and Ittege at various times.
Famous quotes containing the word river:
“There are books so alive that you’re always afraid that while you weren’t reading, the book has gone and changed, has shifted like a river; while you went on living, it went on living too, and like a river moved on and moved away. No one has stepped twice into the same river. But did anyone ever step twice into the same book?”
—Marina Tsvetaeva (1892–1941)
