The Karluk River is located on the southwest end of Kodiak Island in Alaska.
The Karluk River is 35 km (22 mi) long. The upper 23 km (14 mi) of the river are within the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge. The river provides excellent opportunities for fishing, hunting, hiking, wildlife viewing and other wilderness activities.
Famous quotes containing the word river:
“This ferry was as busy as a beaver dam, and all the world seemed anxious to get across the Merrimack River at this particular point, waiting to get set over,—children with their two cents done up in paper, jail-birds broke lose and constable with warrant, travelers from distant lands to distant lands, men and women to whom the Merrimack River was a bar.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
