The Chilikadrotna River[pronunciation?] is a 55-mile (89 km) tributary of the Mulchatna River in the U.S. state of Alaska.[1] It begins in Lake Clark National Park and Preserve in northern Lake and Peninsula Borough and flows westward into the larger river 46 miles (74 km) northwest of Nondalton.[1]
In 1980, the upper 11 miles (18 km) of the river became part of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System.[3] This segment, rated "wild", lies within the national park.[3]
