Iniakuk Lake is a beautiful lake found in the northern part of Alaska. It sits right on the southern edge of the Brooks Range mountains. This lake is about 50 mi (80 km) (80 km) west of a small town called Bettles, Alaska.

The lake is quite long, stretching for just over 5 mi (8.0 km) (8 km). It is also about 1 mi (1.6 km) (1.6 km) wide. Iniakuk Lake is also very deep, reaching a maximum depth of 200 ft (61 m) (61 meters).

Iniakuk Lake is located near some important natural areas. It is only about 6 mi (9.7 km) (9.7 km) away from the Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve. This park is a huge area of wild, untouched nature. The lake is also 60 mi (97 km) (97 km) north of the Arctic Circle. This imaginary line marks the start of the Arctic region.

The lake gets its name from the Iniakuk River. This river is where the water from Iniakuk Lake flows out.
