Kenai - Soldotna

Kenai is the heart of Alaskan adventure; it is located on the Kenai Peninsula where the world-famous Kenai River meets Cook Inlet. It is surrounded by spectacular scenery and wildlife, and has a rich history of native and Russian settlements and culture. Kenai is at the mouth of the beautiful Kenai River and has unlimited views of Cook Inlet and the surrounding majestic mountain ranges.
