Cold and clear Cinder River is home to a large commercial and sports fish population. It hosts a large waterfall popular with tourists to the region.
Cinder River is so named because of the extensive and largely-barren landscape of cinder and ash residue surrounding either side of its banks, which resulted from the massive calderon explosion of Mount Aniakchak in 1889, forty miles (60 km) to the south.
Subsequent eruptions have continued to inundate the region, the most recent being 1931.
