Kenai Fjords National Park

Description

Kenai Fjords National Park, located on the southeast coast of Alaska’s Kenai Peninsula, encompasses 607,805 acres of unspoiled wilderness. The park is capped by the Harding Icefield, a relic from past ice-ages and the largest icefield entirely within U.S. borders. Guests of the Park can witness a landscape, continuously shaped by glaciers, earthquakes, and storms. Kenai Fjords National Park is home to orcas, otters, puffins, bear, moose, mountain goats and many other wild animals.

The Park offers a range of opportunities for visitors, students and scientists to explore the unique ecosystem and wildlife. Many tourists come here for boating, camping, fishing and kayaking. Authorized guides provide camping, fishing and kayaking services in the Park area. Air charters fly over the coast for flight seeing and access to the fjords.
