The White River is a 200 miles (320 km) long tributary of the Yukon River in the U.S. state of Alaska and the Canadian territory of Yukon.
The Alaska Highway crosses the White River near Beaver Creek.
The White River is glacier-fed and contains large amounts of suspended sediment. It transports 19 million tons of sediment per year in the upper part of its basin. This dramatically changes the clarity of the Yukon River, which remains sediment laden from the confluence to its mouth.
