River course
A lake system about 470 m high, about 110 km west of Nain , forms the headwaters of the Anaktalik Brook. This initially flows 7 km to the south, before turning abruptly to the east. At river kilometer 99.8 there is a 15.3 m high waterfall, which makes it impossible for fish to migrate into the upstream river system. The Anaktalik Brook now flows almost dead straight through a deeply cut valley along a fault . Between the river kilometers 49 and 66 is the Anaktalik Lake , a river broadening that measures about 800 m on average. The Anaktalik River finally reaches the head of a bay with the Akuliakatak Peninsula on the south bank . The estuary is located 27 km west-southwest of Nain. The Anaktalik Brook drains an area of 1813 km². About 15 km further north, the Fraser River runs roughly parallel to Anaktalik Brook.
Fish fauna
Atlantic salmon , brook char , arctic char and American arctic char can be found in Anaktalik Brook .
