Wild and Scenic Rivers in Alaska
The confluence of the Alatna and Koyukuk Rivers
Alaska offers a lot of designated Wild & Scenic Rivers. They seem to be pretty evenly spread among National Park Service, US Forest Service, US Fish & Wildlife Service and Bureau of Land Management properties.
Of the approximately 365,000 miles of rivers and streams in Alaska, only about 3,210 miles are designated as Wild & Scenic, less than 1% of the state's river mileage.
