Foraker River
Template:Geobox The Foraker River (Template:Lang-taa or Kotalhno) is a 60-mile (97 km) stream in central Alaska in the United States.[1] It drains an area on the north slope of the Alaska Range on the south edge of the Tanana Valley southwest of Fairbanks.[2] The Herron River is a major tributary.[2]
The Foraker River issues from Foraker Glacier in Denali National Park and Preserve, northwest of Mount Foraker.[2] It flows through the tundra to the north of the Alaska range in a generally northwest direction to Minchumina Lake near the village of Lake Minchumina.[2]
The river was named for its glacial source in 1925 by S.R. Capps of the U.S. Geological Survey. Other names or variants include Seyh Khoolanh No' and Gotothna River.[3]
