Nanvaranak Lake

Nanvaranak Lake lies among the waterways of the Yukon Delta. A slough runs northwest from the lake to Kwikpak Pass, one of the channels through which the Yukon approaches the Bering Sea. The lake belongs to a low, wet landscape threaded by rivers and side channels, with ponds and tundra extending between them. Fish and waterfowl use these waters, while the interconnected channels provide routes through the delta for the Yup’ik communities of the lower Yukon.
