Most guests fly into Anchorage and either take a commuter flight to Kenai ( 20 mins.) or drive. For anyone who has never been to the Kenai peninsula I recommend the drive, its 2 to 4 lanes of blacktop, where you can see mountain Sheep and Goats along the cliffs of the highway. Look for Beluga whales in the inlet just out of town (about 5 miles) . Take a short side trip to Portage glacier, located near the Whittier turn-off or into Seward and touch Exit glacier. After that you cross the Kenai mountains above treeline, be on the look out for Moose, Bears, Caribou and Eagles along the way. Soon after you drop into the valley you will find yourself near the head waters of the Kenai river and close to our resort.
Factoids
No other area of Alaska offers more fishing and recreational activities than the Kenai Peninsula. The focal point of the Kenai Peninsula is the Kenai River which has produced the current world record king salmon of over 97 pounds and 8 of the top 10 world record king salmon. In addition to the large runs of king salmon (80000+) fish, the Kenai River usually has a run of a million red salmon, 300000 silver salmon, and, in even number years, millions of pink salmon. Trophy trout and Dolly Varden also swim the river in great numbers particularly in the fall (September). On the Kenai Peninsula the fishing season is long - running from early May until late October. The serious angler can easily take advantage of lower airfares during off peak summer airfares and still have an excellent fishing vacation.CrookedCreekRV is located in a quiet area on the Kasilof River about 15 minutes drive from the central Kenai Peninsula town of Soldotna. What is even better is that the rest of the Kenai Peninsula is only minutes away by auto.
