Kenai Peninsula Borough

A land of fjords and glaciers in southern Alaska, offering marine wildlife cruises, glacier hiking, and halibut fishing.

The Kenai Peninsula Borough is located in south-central Alaska, bordered by the Gulf of Alaska to the south and Cook Inlet to the west, making it one of the state's most accessible wilderness areas. Kenai Fjords National Park offers glacier cruises to view tidewater glaciers and marine wildlife, as well as hiking on the Harding Icefield Trail from Exit Glacier; Seward features the Alaska SeaLife Center. The Homer Spit is a hub for halibut fishing, while Kachemak Bay State Park across the water features the Grewingk Glacier Lake Trail, and Lake Clark is prime for brown bear viewing. Late May to early September is the best time to visit. The gateway is Anchorage, accessible via the Seward Highway or the Coastal Classic train.
