The White River (French: Rivière Blanche; Hän: Tadzan ndek) is a tributary about 200miles long, of the Yukon River in the U.S. state of Alaska and the Canadian territory of Yukon.[1] The Alaska Highway crosses the White River near Beaver Creek.
The White River is glacier-fed and contains large amounts of suspended sediment. It transports 19 million tons of sediment per year in the upper part of its basin.[4] This dramatically changes the clarity of the Yukon River, which remains sediment laden from the confluence to its mouth.[4]
