Egegik

Egegik lies beside the river of the same name on the Alaska Peninsula, where its waters reach Bristol Bay. The river drains Becharof Lake and receives the King Salmon River from the north. A Yup'ik fishing community lived near its mouth, sustained by the abundant salmon returning from the sea. The river's name is rendered Igyagiiq in Yup'ik, and its waters connect the inland lake with the broad coastal bay.
