Welcome to Kenai

Kenai Alaska is a Cook Inlet coastal village on the wild Kenai Peninsula 3 hours southwest of Anchorage via the scenic Kenai Spur Highway. The town sits on the Kenai River estuary, an area with a rich cultural history from thousands of years of Native American habitation, to settlement by Russian fur traders in 1791, a U.S. Army post established in 1869, and wilderness homesteading beginning in the 1940s. Kenai historic highlights include the 1894 Russian Orthodox Church and five historical cabins in Kenai Cabin Park. Wilderness tours and wildlife viewing are spectacular, the river is legendary for yearly runs of Silver, Red, Pink, and giant King Salmon, and Cook Inlet Halibut fishing is also world class.
