Snake River, Stream in Nome, United States
The Snake River near Nome flows through a region marked by tundra vegetation and connects to Norton Sound in the Bering Sea.
During the Nome Gold Rush of 1899-1909, prospectors extensively panned the Snake River banks, extracting significant amounts of placer gold deposits.
The Snake River area remains important to Alaska Native communities who maintain traditional fishing and gathering practices along its banks.
The river provides access points for recreational fishing, with Arctic grayling and Dolly Varden char among the common catches.
Winter temperatures cause sections of the Snake River to freeze completely, creating natural ice bridges used by local residents.
