The Yukon River is a major watercourse of northwestern
North America. Over half of the river lies in the
U.S. state of
Alaska, with most of the other portion lying in and giving its name to
Canada's Yukon Territory, and a small part of the river near the source located in
British Columbia. The river is 3,700 km (2,300 mi) long and empties into the
Bering Sea at the
Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta. The average flow is 6,430 m³/s (227,000 ft³/s). The total drainage area is 832,700 km² (321,500 mi²), of which 323,800 km² (126,300 mi²) is in Canada. By comparison, the total area is more than 25% larger than
Texas or
Alberta.
