  • Kenai River Trail
    Upper (east entrance) / Lower (west entrance) Kenai River Trail Round Trip: Upper 5.6 miles roundtrip U.S.G.S Maps: Kenai B1 Lower 4.6 miles roundtrip Difficulty: Easy - Moderate Elevation Gain: Upper = 260 feet Hiking Time: Upper = 3 - 5 hours Lower = 250 feet Lower = 2 - 4 hours High Point: 550 feet Trailhead: This trail has two trailheads along Skilak Lake Road. The Upper trailhead starts at mile 0.6 and the Lower trailhead starts at mile 2.3. These mile markers are from the east entrance of Skilak Lake Road junction with the Sterling Highway. DESCRIPTION: This trail provides access to the Kenai River and is divided into upper and lower sections. The western or lower section of the trail goes through a burned section from the Pothole Lake fire (human-caused) which occurred in 1991 and burned 8,700 acres. Much of the trail is forested and some areas are soggy. In July 2004 a fire burned 46 acres. The cause of this fire is unknown. SCENIC VIEWS: Excellent views of the Kenai River canyon can be obtained within the first half mile of the (eastern) upper section. Good views of the Kenai River are also available in the lower section, though they are less spectacular. CAMPING: There are several areas suitable for camping along the Kenai River; most are in the lower section. Firewood is fairly abundant, but backpacking stoves are recommended to reduce impact. FISHING: Trout, Dolly Varden, and salmon can be 2004 caught in the Kenai River. Check the current fishing Burn area regulation before you go.

  • Recreation and Tourism in South-Central Alaska: Patterns and Prospects
    Recreation and Tourism in South-Central Alaska: Patterns and Prospects Steve Colt, Stephanie Martin, Jenna Mieren, and Martha Tomeo United States Forest Pacific Northwest General Technical Report Department of Service Research Station PNW-GTR-551 Agriculture October 2002 Authors Steve Colt is an assistant professor of economics, Stephanie Martin is a research associate, Jenna Mieren and Martha Tomeo are research assistants, University of Alaska, Institute of Social and Economic Research, 3211 Providence Dr., Anchorage, AK 99508. This work was performed under cooperative research agreement PNW-99-7046. Abstract Colt, Steve; Martin, Stephanie; Mieren, Jenna; Tomeo, Martha. 2002. Recreation and tourism in south-central Alaska: patterns and prospects. Gen. Tech. Rep. PNW-GTR-551. Portland, OR: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Pacific Northwest Research Station. 78 p. Based on data from various sources, this report describes the extent and nature of recreation and tourism in south-central Alaska. Current activities, past trends, and prospective developments are presented. Particular attention is given to activities that occur on, or are directly affected by manage- ment of, the Chugach National Forest. Recreation and tourism in and around the forest are also placed in a larger context. The Chugach National Forest is heavily used as a scenic resource by motorists and waterborne passengers; road access to the forest supports recreation activities such as fishing, camping, hiking, and wildlife viewing. Although the annual rate of increase in visitors to south-central Alaska seems to have slowed in the late 1990s, evidence indicates that currently both visitors and Alaska residents are increasingly seeking active forms of recreation and “soft adventure.” These demands, combined with likely capacity constraints at well-known attractions in Alaska and entrepreneurial efforts to provide short-duration recreation and tourism experiences, may lead to increasing use of the Chugach National Forest.

  • An Introduction to Dena'ina Grammar
    AN INTRODUCTION TO DENA’INA GRAMMAR: THE KENAI (OUTER INLET) DIALECT by Alan Boraas, Ph.D. Professor of Anthropology Kenai Peninsula College Based on reference material by: Peter Kalifornsky James Kari, Ph.D. and Joan Tenenbaum, Ph.D. June 30, 2009 revisions May 22, 2010 Page ii Dedication This grammar guide is dedicated to the 20th century children who had their mouth’s washed out with soap or were beaten in the Kenai Territorial School for speaking Dena’ina. And to Peter Kalifornsky, one of those children, who gave his time, knowledge, and friendship so others might learn. Acknowledgement The information in this introductory grammar is based on the sources cited in the “References” section but particularly on James Kari’s draft of Dena’ina Verb Dictionary and Joan Tenenbaum’s 1978 Morphology and Semantics of the Tanaina Verb. Many of the examples are taken directly from these documents but modified to fit the Kenai or Outer Inlet dialect. All of the stem set and verb theme information is from James Kari’s electronic Dena’ina verb dictionary draft. Students should consult the originals for more in-depth descriptions or to resolve difficult constructions.
