The Stony River (Deg Xinag: Gidighuyghatno' Giqedhatno; Dena'ina: K'qizaghetnu) is a 190-mile (310 km) tributary of the Kuskokwim River in the U.S. state of Alaska.[1] The river flows south from near Mount Mausolus in the Revelation Mountains of the Alaska Range through the northwestern corner of Lake Clark National Park and Preserve. From there, it flows generally westward to meet the larger river at the community of Stony River.[3]
