Kenai River, Natural brook in Kenai Peninsula, Alaska, US
The Kenai River stretches 82 miles from Kenai Lake through diverse ecosystems before reaching its outlet at Cook Inlet in southcentral Alaska.
The Dena'ina people established settlements along the Kenai River thousands of years ago, using it as a vital transportation route and food source.
The river holds substantial importance for local fishing traditions, with numerous community events centered around seasonal salmon runs throughout the year.
The Kenai River Special Management Area maintains multiple access points and facilities for visitors, including designated fishing spots and camping areas.
A world record king salmon weighing 97 pounds was caught in these waters in 1985, establishing the river's reputation for exceptional fishing.
