Talkeetna River, Mountain brook in Southcentral Alaska, US
The Talkeetna River extends for 85 miles through Alaska, beginning at Talkeetna Glacier and flowing into the Susitna River near the town of Talkeetna.
In 1898, explorers G. H. Eldridge and Robert Muldrow documented the river's Native American name, which they interpreted as meaning 'river of plenty'.
The river holds different names in indigenous languages, including Taa'i Na' in Ahtna and K'dalkitnu in Dena'ina, reflecting the long-standing native presence in the region.
The river features Class IV to V rapids with a gradient between 60 to 20 feet per mile, requiring advanced whitewater navigation skills and proper equipment.
During the King Salmon migration season, the lower sections of the river fill with jet boats transporting fishermen to prime fishing locations.
