Tlikakila River, Brook in Lake Clark National Park, Alaska, United States.
The Tlikakila River extends 51 miles through Alaska's wilderness, flowing southwest from Summit Lake to Lake Clark through a glacial valley.
The Lake Clark Pass adjacent to the Tlikakila River served as a trade route for Lake Clark and Cook Inlet Dena'ina peoples until the 1900s.
The Dena'ina Athabascan name Łiq'a Qilanhtnu translates to 'salmon-are-there river', reflecting the waterway's importance for local fish populations.
Access to the river requires a float plane landing at Summit Lake, followed by a two-mile portage to reach suitable launch points.
The river system provides spawning grounds for twenty percent of Lake Clark's sockeye salmon population within its glacier-fed waters.
