Whitefish Lake

Whitefish Lake lies south of the Kuskokwim River in the lowlands beside the Kilbuck Mountains. Creeks drain the mountains and smaller lakes into its waters, including Ophir Creek from the slopes of Mount Hamilton. The lake’s outlet winds west through the low country to sloughs of the Kuskokwim. This is a landscape of connected lakes, streams and wetlands within the traditional country of Yup’ik communities, where travel and harvesting follow the changing seasons.
