Kegum Kagati Lake

Kegum Kagati Lake lies in the low country of the Yukon–Kuskokwim delta in western Alaska. Its name means “head of the Keguk,” the river that flows south from the lake to meet the Kinia. About six miles across, the lake is one of many waters scattered through the delta. Its outlet carries water away through a landscape of channels and wetlands toward the Bering Sea.
