National Wild and Scenic River

The Tlikakila River is an approximately 80 km long tributary of Little Lake Clark in southwest Alaska .

It rises from Summit Lake at Lake Clark Pass , flows southwest in a valley between the Neacola and the Chigmit Mountains and flows into Lake Clark . The river is fed by glaciers such as the Tanaina and Double glaciers . It is located in the Lake Clark Wilderness , a wilderness area within the Lake Clark National Park .

The Big River rises on the opposite, northeast side of Lake Clark Pass and flows into Redoubt Bay of the Cook Inlet . The Chokotonk River , which also flows into Lake Clark, flows in the neighboring valley of the lower reaches to the southeast .

The name is derived from the name of the Athabaskan Tanaina for the river.

The Tlikakila River was designated as a National Wild and Scenic River under the administration of the National Park Service in 1980 by the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act .
