The Koyukuk River is a principal tributary of the Yukon River, approximately 500 mi (805 km) long, in northern Alaska in the United States.
It drains an area north of the Yukon on the southern side of the Brooks Range. The river is named for the Koyukon people.
It rises in several forks above the Arctic Circle in the Endicott Mountains, near 67°58′N 151°15′W / 67.967°N 151.25°W / 67.967; -151.25.
The North Fork of the Koyukuk River rises in Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve. The combined river flows generally southwest, past Bettles, in a broadening valley of spruce forests amid small lakes and marshes. It joins the Yukon from the north at Koyukuk.
Its tributaries include the Glacier, Alatna and John rivers. The area around its confluence with the Yukon is a large floodplain protected as part of Koyukuk National Wildlife Refuge.
The valley of the river is a habitat for bear and moose and is a destination for game hunting."ADF&G Hunting Regulations"
