Experience Alaska

Fishing
From fly fishing to drift trips to deep sea excursions, the Kenai Peninsula is an angler’s paradise — chock full of four species of salmon (including King), Arctic Char, Dolly Varden, Rainbow Trout, Pacific Halibut and Steelhead. Take professional- or self-guided trips to the Kenai River, Russian River, Kasilof River, Resurrection Bay, Halibut Cove, Deep Creek Saltwater, Anchor River, Deep Creek or Polly Creek. The toughest decision you’ll have is where to cast your line first.

Wildlife
There are few things more exciting than observing wildlife in their natural habitat. And during your visit to Alaska’s Kenai Peninsula (90 percent of which is wilderness), you might get to see myriad species, including brown bear, caribou, coyotes, dall sheep, fox, humpback whales, lynx, moose, puffins, sea lions and wolves. You can even take a flightseeing trip to view the famed Katmai bears.

Outdoor exploring
Mountains connect Kenai to the rest of Alaska, making for some ideal hiking, mountain biking, photography and exploring. Discover the more than 400 miles of trails in the Kenai Mountains Harding Icefield. Take in the majestic scenery of the Kenai Fjords National Park. Bask in the splendor of four active, glacier-clad and white-capped volcanoes — viewable along the same stretch of beautiful highway. And don’t forget about all the other summer and winter activities, like boating, canoeing, camping, horseback riding, whitewater rafting, berry picking, scenic drives, cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, and dog sledding.
