Alaska’s playground, the Kenai Peninsula is a scenic drive south of Anchorage. It is surrounded by beautiful scenery and wildlife, and has a rich history of Alaska native and Russian settlements and culture.

The Kenai Peninsula is spectacular for hiking, wildlife viewing, canoeing, kayaking, mountain biking, mushroom or berry picking and clamming. In winter, skiing, aurora viewing, dog sled rides, snowmobiling and ice fishing are popular.

Located where the world-famous Kenai River meets Cook Inlet, perhaps the most famous activity on the Kenai Peninsula is fishing. There are so many fishing options that 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, 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 an angler can ice fish for salmon or trout on a peninsula lake.
