The Toklat River is a right tributary of the Kantishna River in central Alaska .

The Toklat River rises on the northern flank of the Alaska range . The road through Denali National Park crosses the river not far from its formation. The Toklat River flows in a predominantly northerly direction and takes on the East Fork Toklat River from the right. After about 140 km it reaches the Kantishna River . The Toklat River has many parallel river arms in the upper and middle reaches. This section of the river lies within Denali National Park. In the lower 40 km to its mouth, the river changes its character and forms countless narrow meanders .
