The Innoko River is a river in western Alaska. It flows north from its origin south of Cloudy Mountain in the Kuskoswim Mountains and then flows southwest to its end at the Yukon River, across from Holy Cross, Alaska.

Location of Holy Cross, Alaska

The river is about 500 miles (805 km) long.[1] It is within the Innoko National Wildlife Refuge.

Innoko is probably a Deg Hit’an name for the river.[citation needed] The Russian colonial administrators also called the river Shiltonotno, Legon or Tlegon, Chagelyuk or Shageluk and Ittege at various times.
