The communities of Igiugig and Levelock lie along the Kvichak River.〔 The Kvichak is navigable along its entire length, and is used as a short cut by boats getting between Cook Inlet and Bristol Bay via the Lake Iliamna portage. The Kvichak River is home to the largest Red salmon run in the world. Commercial harvests are worth hundreds of millions annually. The Kvichak River is part of the watershed downstream of the proposed Pebble Mine. Historically, the river was navigated and subsistence fished by local Alaska Natives. The name of the river means ''from''- or ''up to''- ''great water'', a reference to Iliamna Lake, Alaska's largest freshwater lake. ==See also== *List of rivers of Alaska 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kvichak River」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
