Ranking Rivers - Geophysical Institute For comparison, that's right ahead of the Columbia in area drained and right after it in discharge (The Columbia River also needs Canada to gain its rank; its source is in British Columbia ) Two Yukon tributaries also make the list The Porcupine ranks 20th in drainage area, and the Tanana is number 16 for average discharge
Alaska’s big river never stops flowing - Geophysical Institute It’s midsummer, a good time to slip a canoe onto the Yukon River I start at the river town of Eagle, population 85, and will finish in Circle, population 104 Circle is about 170 twisting miles downriver The Yukon is the longest and highest-volume river by far in Alaska It is the third-longest in the U S , after the Mississippi and the Missouri At Eagle, the Yukon quietly piles into
