The Dall River is an approximately 130 km long right tributary of the Yukon River in central Alaska .
It rises in the Interior on the flank of the Dall Mountain , flows in a south-southeast direction and flows into the Yukon River at Stevens Village . The entire course of the Dall River lies in the Yukon Flats National Wildlife Refuge .
The river was named in 1869 by Captain Raymond of the United States Army Corps of Engineers after William Healey Dall (1845-1927), a malacologist who had explored the Yukon a few years earlier with an expedition of the Western Union Telegraph . The name of the indigenous people for the river was documented as "Notochargut", which means something like "mouth of the Noto River".
