Kanuti River

The Kanuti (Kkʼoonootnoʼ in Koyukon ) is a 175 mi tributary of the Koyukuk River in the U.S. state of Alaska. The river begins near the Arctic Circle and flows generally west, passing under the Dalton Highway near Caribou Mountain. After continuing through a relatively flat basin, it enters a 1200 ft deep canyon before meeting the larger river near Allakaket. The Kanuti National Wildlife Refuge covers a large part of the river basin.
