The King Salmon River is a tributary of the Ugashik River, having its confluence 57°29′N, 157°39′W with the Ugashik at the head of Ugashik Bay on the Alaska Peninsula in southwest Alaska.
It flows 35 miles (56 km) from headwaters at Mother Goose Lake in the Aleutian Range near Mount Chiginagak northwest to the upper reaches of Ugashik Bay. Its gravel bottom and many braided channels are ideal for the many king salmon which spawn in its waters but limits navigation to small skiff.
There are many rivers in Alaska bearing the name King Salmon River, including tributaries to the Egegik River and Nushagak River systems in southwest Alaska, alone. The name is also occasionally confused with a nickname given the Kenai River, a popular fishing stream located in the Cook Inlet drainage of southcentral Alaska.
Besides the large numbers of king salmon, the river is also hosts large numbers of sea-run Dolly Varden, Chum Salmon and a small run of Pink Salmon.
