Feather River is a stream, 17 miles (27 km) long, on the Seward Peninsula in the U.S. state of Alaska.[1] Flowing west[1] in the Nome mining district, it debouches a little north of Cape Woolley on the Bering Sea.[3] Its creeks include Livingston, from the east; Thistle and Wills, from the north; and Johnston, from the east.[3]
