The Herron River ('''K'otaal No’''' or Tsatasronik) is a 48miles tributary of the Foraker River in central Alaska in the United States.[1] It drains an area on the north slope of the Alaska Range on the south edge of the Tanana Valley southwest of Fairbanks.[3]
The river issues from Herron Glacier in the northern Alaska Range in Denali National Park and Preserve, northwest of Mount Foraker.[3] It flows through the tundra to the north of the Alaska range in a generally northwest direction, forming part of the boundary between national park lands and national preserve lands.[3]
The river was named for its glacial source in 1925 by S.R. Capps of the U.S. Geological Survey. Other names or variants include K'otal No, Tsatasronick and Sishuluthna River.[4]
