The Squirrel River (Iñupiaq: Siksriktuum Kuuŋa, Koyukon: Tleleyh No’) is a 72miles tributary of the Kobuk River in the U.S. state of Alaska.[1] It is a very clear, small arctic river flowing south from the foothills of Baird Mountains to where it meets the Kobuk River in the village of Kiana.[3] From Kiana, the Kobuk flows southwest into Hotham Inlet of Kotzebue Sound on the Chukchi Sea.[3]
The upper segment of the stream runs in a U molded, half-mile wide valley lying between 300-to 400-foot moving slopes. The lower area of stream has a rough track along the north bank that approaches some mining claims on Klery Creek.
