The Nabesna River (Naambia Niign in Upper Tanana) is a 73-mile (117 km) tributary of the Tanana River in the U.S. state of Alaska.[1] Beginning at Nabesna Glacier in the Alaska Range, it flows north-northeast from Wrangell–St. Elias National Park and Preserve to join the Chisana River near Northway Junction. The combined rivers form the Tanana.[3]
