Located within driving distance of Anchorage, the creek receives intense fishing pressure, with hundreds of fishermen congregating along heavily eroded streambanks on busy summer weekends.

One partnership, with the owner of a popular camping and fishing lodge, restored instream and riparian habitat along 400 feet of highly degraded riverbank visible from Alaska’s busiest highway.

Division of Bird Habitat Conservation Alaska: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
The Kenai River is best known for its legendary salmon runs. With five species of salmon, including 95-pound trophy king salmon and millions of red salmon, this river is the most popular sportfishing river in Alaska.

Heavy foot traffic degrades riparian vegetation important to waterfowl, while intense riverfront development brings disturbance and pollution to the habitats. The State has been working with the Borough, local businesses, conservation groups, local landowners, and sportfishing guides to find a balance between preservation and utilization. ... [Read More]

Use Ptarmigan Pass. Depart Anchorage northwest bound and cross Cook Inlet to Point MacKenzie. Follow the shoreline to the Big Susitna River, follow upstream to the Yentna, up the Yentna until you reach Skwentna. Follow the Skwentna River until you get well into the mountains. At this point, the Skwentna turns to the southwest, and the Happy River flows from northwest. Follow the Happy River 14 or so miles. At this point, you make almost a 130 degree slow turn to the left around a mountain still following the Happy River. Follow the main valley for about another 16 miles and make a slow turn, almost 180 degrees to the right through a narrow valley (Ptarmigan Pass) following a stream around another mountain.

The Farewell Lake lodge will be just under your right wing. Pick up the 90 degree radial from the McGrath VOR, or fo ... [Read More]
