The Alaska Kenai River is located on the Kenai Peninsula in south central Alaska.

Kenai river fishing is well-known for its king salmon, silver salmon, red salmon, trout and deep-water halibut. In fact, if you take a Kenai River fishing trip in May, June or July, you will have a good chance of catching a trophy king salmon.

During the summer, fishermen are not the only ones who are interested in salmon. Be prepared to share the feast with the Kenai River bears. The Kenai River bears are an interesting species. If you are in their territory, keep in mind, that like many other Alaska animals, they are adverse to surprises. If possible, travel with a group and try to be noisy.

The Kenai River bears are also intolerant of any sort of crowding. If you invade their personal space, they may assume that you are dinner. Considering that they only six months to build up fat stores before their winter bedtime, the bears are always hungry. Keep that in mind when you are on a camping trip.
