Description

The Kisaralik River from and including Kisaralik Lake to the west boundary of TSN, R65W meets the criteria established by the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act for inclusion in the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System NWSRS as a wild river area. A potential conflict with designation of the river as part of the national system is the proposal to construct a hydroelectric dam in the vicinity of Golden Gate rapids.
