Selawik River
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Selawik River is a river in northwestern Alaska.[1] It is about 140 miles (225 km) long. It runs from its origin in the Purcell Mountains through the Selawik National Wildlife Refuge and empties into Selawik Lake, which empties into the Kotzebue Sound in the Chukchi Sea. The river is approximately at the latitude of the arctic circle.
The village of Selawik is on the river. The river is used for subsistence fishing by residents and for rafting and sport fishing by tourists.
