The Kandik River (Hän: K'ày' juu) is an 82miles tributary of the Yukon River in Canada and the United States.[1] Beginning in the Canadian territory of Yukon, it flows generally southwest into the U.S. state of Alaska.[3] Continuing southwest, it enters the larger river slightly upstream of the mouth of the Charley River in Yukon - Charley Rivers National Preserve.[4]
