Grand Central River is a waterway on the Seward Peninsula in the U.S. state of Alaska. It enters Salmon Lake from the west.[3] Although the Grand Central and Kruzgamepa (or Pilgrim) rivers form one stream, their names differ, and their physical features vary.[4] The Grand Central flows into Salmon Lake,[3] while the Kruzgamepa flows out.[5]
