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:
“The mountain may be approached more easily and directly on horseback and on foot from the northeast side, by the Aroostook road, and the Wassataquoik River; but in that case you see much less of the wilderness, none of the glorious river and lake scenery, and have no experience of the batteau and the boatman’s life.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
