The Unalakleet River (Iñupiaq: Uŋalaqłiit Kurgat) in the U.S. state of Alaska flows southwest 90 miles (145 km) from the Kaltag Mountains to near the town of Unalakleet, on Norton Sound of the Bering Sea.[3]

In 1980, the upper 80 miles (130 km) of the river was protected as "wild" as part of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System.[4] Managed by the Bureau of Land Management, the wild segment of the river is fished for king and silver salmon, Arctic grayling, and char.[4] Other forms of recreation along the river include boating and camping in summer and snowmobiling, dog mushing, ice fishing, hunting, and trapping in winter.[5] For part of its length, the Iditarod Trail runs along the Unalakleet.[5]
