The river has two major tributaries and one minor: the King Salmon River and the Dog Salmon River both have confluences near the river mouth at Ugashik Bay, while the smaller Dago Creek joins just four miles (6 km) from Smoky Point, where Ugashik Bay and Bristol Bay meet. The river is navigable to a small lagoon located just outside the outlet from Lower Ugashik Lake. A small rapids between the lake and the lagoon serves as the location of a seasonally staffed salmon-counting weir operated by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game. The river hosts several seasonal salmon runs including, during the peak summer season, part of the largest sockeye salmon migration in the world. ==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「Ugashik River」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
