Indian River was named in 1826 by Russians colonizing the Sitka area as Reka Koloshenka. This was translated in 1883 to the English title used today. Indian River is a large salmon-spawning stream.[2] The river terminates in the heart of Sitka National Historical Park and passes the Alaska Raptor Center. The river extends about five miles into Baranof Island before splitting into two branches. A trail follows the southern branch to a viewpoint of a 21-meter waterfall.[3] The river carries a large volume of water relative to its watershed due the extremely high rainfall of the Baranof Island area.{{Citation needed|date=February 2007}} Indian River played a vital role in the Battle of Sitka with the impenetrable Tlingit fort sitting just adjacent to the mouth of the river.
