The Eenayarak River (alternative spelling: Inayarak River ) is an approximately 90 km long left tributary of the Kuskokwim River in southwest Alaska .
The river forms the drain of Eek Lake , 30 km south of Bethel . It meanders through the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta , initially to the south, later to the west. Finally he reaches the Kuskokwim River, 30 km above its mouth in the Bering Sea . In the past, on older maps, the Eenayarak River flowed 7 km further south and flowed into the Eek River . Today only a narrow arm of the river runs along the original course of the river. The Eenayarak River used to form a waterway from Eek to Eek Lake. The Eenayarak River drains an area of approximately 2200 km².
