Naknek River is a stream, 35 miles (56 km) long, in the Bristol Bay Borough of the U.S. state of Alaska.[3] It flows west from Naknek Lake to empty into Kvichak Bay, an arm of Bristol Bay.[1] The river and lake are both known for their sockeye and other salmon.[4]
The village of King Salmon is near the head of the river; Naknek and South Naknek lie at its mouth, on the north and south banks respectively.[5] The head lies within Katmai National Park and Preserve.[5]
