Kenai River

Flowing for 82 miles (132 kilometers) from its source in the Kenai Mountains to the Cook Inlet of the Pacific Ocean, the Kenai River is a vital waterway teeming with salmon and trout. Each summer, millions of salmon return to the river from the Pacific, navigating the same streams where they were born to spawn. This natural phenomenon makes the Kenai River the most popular sport fishing destination in Alaska, drawing anglers from around the world to experience the thrill of catching these abundant fish.
