The Innoko River[pronunciation?] is a 500-mile (800 km) tributary of the Yukon River in the U.S. state of Alaska.[2] It flows north from its origin south of Cloudy Mountain in the Kuskokwim Mountains and then southwest to meet the larger river across from Holy Cross.[3]
Most of its upper portion flows through the Innoko National Wildlife Refuge.[3] The entire river is within the Yukon–Koyukuk Census Area.[2]
Innoko is a Deg Hit’an name for the river.[4] The Russian colonial administrators also called the river Shiltonotno, Legon or Tlegon, Chagelyuk or Shageluk and Ittege at various times in the 19th century.[2]
