Imuruk Lake (Inupiaq: Imaġruk or Narvaġruk) is the largest body of fresh water in Seward Peninsula in the U.S. state of Alaska. It measures 31 square miles (80 km2) and has a drainage basin of 102 square miles (260 km2), It lies on top of a lava plateau at an elevation of 960 feet (290 m). The drainage basin is relatively flat, as the maximum elevation is only about 1,600 feet (490 m). A low gap in the divide between the lake and the head of the right fork of Goodhope River rises only a few feet above the lake. The Fairhaven Ditch takes practically all its water from the lake.[1]Serpentine Hot Springs flow to the Serpentine River, 47 miles (76 km) northwest of Imuruk Lake.[2]
