Kvichak River

Wetland at the headwaters of the Kvichak River

The Kvichak River is a 97 km long river in southwest Alaska at the transition from the mainland to the Alaska Peninsula.

He springs from the Iliamna Lake flows southwestward and flows Kogging, 14 km north of Naknek, in the Kvichak Bay, a bay in the northeast of Bristol Bay.

The designation of Alaska Natives for the river was documented in 1828 by Captain Lutke of the Imperial Russian Navy as " Riviere Bristol " or " Riviere Kvitchak ". The notation " Kvichak " comes from a map of the United States Bureau of Fisheries from 1888.
