Nuigalak Lake

Nuigalak Lake lies within the wetlands of the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, near the Kashunuk River and Nanvaranak Lake. The delta is a flat expanse of tundra, lakes and winding channels between the great Yukon and Kuskokwim rivers. Waterfowl use its wetlands, and the waterways connect communities with fishing and hunting places. The Kashunuk has an older history as a former course of the Yukon, whose shifting channels have helped shape the low country surrounding the lake.
