The Aniakchak River[pronunciation?] is a stream, 27 miles (43 km) long, in Lake and Peninsula Borough on the Alaska Peninsula in the United States.[1] It arises in Surprise Lake in the crater of Mount Aniakchak, a volcano in the Aleutian Range.[3] It flows eastward from Aniakchak National Monument and Preserve into Aniakchak Bay and the Pacific Ocean.[3]

In 1980, a total of 63 miles (101 km) of streams, including the main stem Aniakchak and several tributaries, all within Aniakchak National Monument and Preserve, were designated "wild" and added to the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System.[4] The "wild" tributaries are Hidden, Mystery, and Albert Johnson creeks and the North Fork Aniakchak River.[4]
