Kenai National Wildlife Refuge and Chugach National Forest

The Kenai Mountains rise over the turquoise colored water of the Kenai River to create an outdoor lover's paradise and one of our favorite destinations. Originally set aside by President Roosevelt in 1941 as a refuge for moose, Dall sheep and other game, the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge has since been expanded to nearly 2 million acres. The refuge now protects a significant portion of the Kenai River corridor and is the home of moose, brown and black bears, wolves, sheep, mt. goats, bald eagles and other birds. Hiking is a favorite activity in the area with over 200 miles of great hiking trails.

The Kenai River is world famous for salmon and rainbow trout. Anglers come from around the world to pursue the trophy sized fish. Rainbow trout (some weighing up to 20 lbs.) are a prized pursuit as are king, red and silver salmon. Others prefer a tranquil float down the Kenai River with a camera, rather than a fishing pole, to search for wildlife and to enjoy the magnificent views.

Most of our trips spend two or three nights camped within the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge near Skilak Lake to take advantage of the recreational opportunities in the area.
