The Kenai Peninsula is a large peninsula jutting from the southern coast of Alaska in the United States. It extends approximately 150 miles (240 km) southwest from the Chugach Mountains, south of Anchorage. It is separated from the mainland on the west by the Cook Inlet and on the east by Prince William Sound. Administratively the peninsula is part of the Kenai Peninsula Borough. A favorite for lodging and fishing vacations.
The glacier-covered Kenai Mountains (7,000 ft/2,130 m) run along the southeast spine of the peninsula along the fishing coast of the Gulf of Alaska. Much of the range is within Kenai Fjords National Park. The northwest coast along the Cook Inlet is flatter and marshy, dotted with numerous small lakes. Several larger lakes extend through the interior of the peninsula, including Skilak Lake and Tustumena Lake. Rivers include the Kenai River, famous for its salmon population and fishing, as well as the Russian River, the Kasilof River, and Anchor River. Kachemak Bay, a small inlet off the larger Cook Inlet, extends into the peninsula's southwest end. Visit Kenai, visit Soldotna, visit the Alyeska ~ Alaska fishing lodge.
