  • 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.

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.

    Southcentral Region Department of Fish and Game Fishing in the Seward Area About Seward The Seward and North Gulf Coast area is located in the southeastern portion of Alaska’s Kenai Peninsula. Here you’ll find spectacular scenery and many opportunities to fish, camp, and view Alaska’s wildlife. Many Seward area recreation opportunities are easily reached from the Seward Highway, a National Scenic Byway extending 127 miles from Seward to Anchorage. Seward (pop. 2,000) may also be reached via railroad, air, or bus from Anchorage, or by the Alaska Marine ferry trans- portation system. Seward sits at the head of Resurrection Bay, surrounded by the U.S. Kenai Fjords National Park and the U.S. Chugach National Forest. Most anglers fish salt waters for silver (coho), king (chinook), and pink (humpy) salmon, as well as halibut, lingcod, and various species of rockfish.
