The Kanuti (Kkʼoonootnoʼ in Koyukon[4]) is a 175-mile (282 km) tributary of the Koyukuk River in the U.S. state of Alaska.[3] The river begins near the Arctic Circle and flows generally west, passing under the Dalton Highway near Caribou Mountain.[5] After continuing through a relatively flat basin, it enters a 1,200-foot (370 m) deep canyon before meeting the larger river near Allakaket.[6] The Kanuti National Wildlife Refuge covers a large part of the river basin.[5]
