The Karluk River is located on the southwest end of Kodiak Island in Alaska.
The Karluk River is 35 km (22 mi) long. The upper 23 km (14 mi) of the river are within the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge. The river provides excellent opportunities for fishing, hunting, hiking, wildlife viewing and other wilderness activities.
Famous quotes containing the word river:
“Nature seemed to have adorned herself for our departure with a profusion of fringes and curls, mingled with the bright tints of flowers, reflected in the water. But we missed the white water-lily, which is the queen of river flowers, its reign being over for this season.... Many of this species inhabit our Concord water.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
