King Salmon River (Admiralty Island)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- Several rivers bear the name King Salmon River in Alaska.
The King Salmon River is a small drainage on the northern tip of Admiralty Island of Southeast Alaska.
It flows eastward then south for a total distance of 11 miles (18 km) from headwaters in the low mountains just south of Eagle Peak into King Salmon Bay , an elongated bay of the Seymour Canal. Its entire course lies within the boundary of the Admiralty Island National Monument Kootznoowoo Wilderness area.
A relatively small river, it is not navigable. Besides its namesake king salmon, the river also hosts large annual run of pink salmon.
