Walker Lake is the source of the Kobuk River in northwestern Alaska (emptying into Kotzebue Sound). The lake is located near the easternmost part of Northwest Arctic Borough, deep in the remote interior of northern Alaska. Explored during an expedition led by in 1885, under the authority of the Revenue Marine. Also known as "Big Fish Lake", Inupiaq legend in the area told of giant, ferocious fish that inhabited the waters. An attempt by a native with the Cantwell expedition to catch one of these giant fish involved a hook made of an entire set of reindeer antlers baited with a whole goose.

  • Der Walker Lake ist ein See in den Endicott Mountains, einem Gebirgszug der Brookskette, im Nordwesten von Alaska. Der See liegt im Süden des Gates-of-the-Arctic-Nationalparks unweit der Quelle des Kobuk River. Der 37 km² große See liegt auf 207 m Höhe. Er ist 21,5 km lang und weist eine maximale Breite von 2,8 km auf. In das nördliche Seeende mündet der Kaluluktok Creek. Ein 5 km langer Abfluss entwässert den See von dessen südlichem Ende zum südlich vorbeiströmenden Kobuk River. 1968 wurde der See als National Natural Landmark ausgewiesen. Der Walker Lake ist ein Beispiel für das Zusammenspiel von geologischen und biologischen Einflüssen in einem von Gletschern gespeisten See am Übergang von borealer Zone zu Tundra. (de)
