The Kenai Canoe Trail System is

located within the Kenai National

Wildlife Refuge and is one of two

wilderness canoe systems in the

United States established by

Congress.

There are approximately 70 lakes

interconnected by over 150 miles

of waterways and land portages

to be explored. This area also

contains many lakes that are not

connected by waterways or

established portages, and as a

result are seldom visited.

The Kenai wilderness offers some excellent fishing opportunities for rainbow trout, char, red and silver salmon. Using ultra light tackle enables a thrilling angling experience!

Stocking does not take place in the canoe system so the fish you catch are wild stock. Most of our fishing is catch and release, but you can't beat a dinner of fresh caught trout!

Wildlife in the canoe system includes such creatures as    bears (black and brown),     moose, lynx, wolves, coyotes, river otters, minks, beaver,      loons, bald eagles, kingfishers, trumpeter swans and more.

DAY TRIPS: Paddle on lakes on the fringe of the wilderness. Leisurely explore these beautiful lakes with good fishing. A tasty picnic lunch is included. This trip is about 7 - 8 hours in the canoe system.

 

OVERNIGHTERS: These give more time for farther travel into the wilderness, observation, great fishing and the serenity of a rustic lakeside campsite. Departure is early morning and return is late afternoon the next day.

 

TRIPS OF THREE OR MORE DAYS: These will lead you into the heart of the canoe system wilderness. Wildlife viewing and relaxing opportunities are greatest on these trips. Campsites are rustic and we practice minimum impact camping in order to preserve the Kenai wilderness.

Your trip starts at our Sterling

home base where there is ample

parking.  After a brief safety and

orientation session, your things are

loaded into our van and we're off

on your Alaskan wilderness adventure.

 

 

All trips are custom planned to meet the challenge level and

interests of your party.  We know the canoe trails and would

be happy to plan a trip for you.
