The Nenana River is a tributary of the Tanana River in central Alaska, stretching approximately 140 miles (230 km). It drains an area on the north slope of the Alaska Range, located on the southern edge of the Tanana Valley, southwest of Fairbanks. Originating from the Nenana Glacier in the northern Alaska Range, southwest of Mount Deborah and about 100 miles (160 km) south of Fairbanks, the river flows briefly southwest, then west, and finally north. It marks the eastern boundary of Denali National Park and Preserve before emerging into the expansive marshlands of the Tanana Valley. At Nenana, Alaska, roughly 35 miles (56 km) southwest of Fairbanks, it joins the Tanana River, which then continues to its confluence with the Yukon River.
