The Foraker River issues from Foraker Glacier in Denali National Park and Preserve, northwest of Mount Foraker. It flows through the tundra to the north of the Alaska range in a generally northwest direction to Minchumina Lake near the village of Lake Minchumina.

The river was named for its glacial source in 1925 by S.R. Capps of the U.S. Geological Survey. Other names or variants include Seyh Khoolanh No' and Gotothna River.
