The Kenai Peninsula

The Kenai Peninsula

The Kenai Peninsula is a natural setting where time stands still; where spirits are lifted by rugged beauty. Exploration by any mode is truly a memory in the making. Many appreciate the flexibility of driving along various scenic routes. Discovery by rail is equally remarkable, as winding tracks take all aboard across massive gulches, past snowcapped peaks and raging rivers. Perhaps the most panoramic of ways to behold the grandeur of the peninsula is via flight. Helicopters and small airplanes afford a bird's eye view of exquisite landscape and geologic marvels like the Harding Ice Fields in Kenai Fjords National Park.

Perhaps the most famous activity on the Kenai Peninsula is fishing. There are so many options, the tough part is deciding where to wet your line first. The Kenai Peninsula rivers are among the most famous, most intensely managed, fresh water salmon fisheries in Alaska. Rivers and lakes are also teaming with Arctic char, resident and sea-run dolly varden, and trophy rainbow trout. Whether fly fishing all alone, drifting for kings or commissioning a deep-sea halibut charter, the Kenai Peninsula is a fisherman's paradise. Fishing is excellent year round including winter when a visitor can ice fish for salmon or trout on a peninsula lake.
