Tazlina River, Brook in Valdez-Cordova Census Area, Alaska, United States.
The Tazlina River extends 30 miles from Tazlina Lake to the Copper River, flowing through glacial valleys in south-central Alaska.
Russian explorer Shturman Serebrenikov first documented the river system in 1848, marking its presence on early Alaskan exploration maps.
The river provides essential fishing grounds for local communities, supporting populations of king salmon, red salmon, and Arctic grayling.
Access points along the Richardson Highway offer entry to the river, with varying water conditions depending on glacial melt patterns.
The river features Class II and III rapids at Oxbow Drop, creating technical challenges for watercraft navigation through swift glacial waters.
