History
Tanaina Indian name spelled "Tu-lu-shu-lit-na" by Lt. J. S. Herron, USA, in 1899.[1]
Watershed
Heads on Beluga Mountain, flows South and North-West 45 miles (72 km) to Skwentna River, 56 miles (90 km) North-West of Tyonek, Alaska.[1]
This river begins at Judd Lake. It is inaccessible by road. And, it has its own support group.[6]
The Talachulitna is popular for fly-in rafting and fishing trips. There are special restrictions on fishing: rainbow trout & steelhead are "catch & release" only and only single-hook lures can be used.[7]
More information is available from a log of a 1976 river resource study for the Alaska State Division of Lands.[8]

gollark: So... general reasoning tests are... racially biased?
gollark: I'm not saying that if you score high on an IQ test then you will magically start doing better or being more intelligent, merely that it is related to some metrics people care about.
gollark: Probably.
