View from the deck of Kenai Fjords Glacier Lodge Fi n d Yo u r s el f in a pl ac e where wildern ess an d comfort peacefully c o e xist Alaska is a rare treasure. In one great place, you can see glaciers carve new valleys and break off into the ocean. Whales feed for their long migrations north and south. Wildflowers race to complete a life cycle within 100 days before frost returns to the tundra. Salmon struggle, spawn and become a source of nourishment for bears and eagles. The spectacular landscapes and natural wonders of the Kenai Peninsula, Denali National Park and Kenai Fjords National Park are the ideal backdrop for outdoor activities. We encourage you to join a hike, paddle a sea kayak or go rafting before enjoying a gourmet meal at one of our wilderness lodges —all without ever leaving the wilderness of authentic Alaska.
Utqiagvik
Denali National Park —Seeing majestic
Denali (formerly known as Mount McKinley)
and all of this National Park’s incredible wildlife is an
iconic Alaska experience. The only way into Denali
is by bus along the 92-mile restricted-access park
road. As a result, many travelers end up overnighting
at the often-crowded park entrance and taking a
bus tour that drives halfway into the park, then turns
around. We offer the alternative to this—relaxed
backcountry lodging deep within the park borders.

AWA Belief #1: There’s just no substitute for experience.
Alaska is our home, and we’ve been committed to providing the highest quality trips from the beginning, over 40 years ago. We were among the first to offer raft explorations of the
Kenai River into the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge, and we pioneered small-group explorations from the protected areas of Kenai Fjords National Park and the Kenai Peninsula to
Denali National Park and Preserve. We know all the areas we visit intimately. Today, we are proud to continue this tradition as Alaska’s leader in lodge-to-lodge adventure trips.

The Kenai Riverside Lodge is located on the banks of the Upper Kenai River— see maps on pages 2 and 3 4 1.800.334.8730 www.kenairiversidelodge.com

Adventures, we found the perfect campsite on the LODGES

for its crucial geographic position as a gateway to per person
unlocking the wonders of all the Kenai’s wilderness.
Over time, the place grew into Kenai Riverside Lodge. And, our favorite riverside campsite
is still there—enshrined as the riverside deck, where guests can enjoy today the very spot
we fell in love with so many years ago. Easily accessible from Anchorage and near Cooper
Landing, Kenai Riverside Lodge consists of our log lodge dining room and lounge surrounded by 16
cozy cabins. Built in the historic style of turn-of-the-century slab-wood mining buildings, each cabin
has a private bathroom and is gently tucked into the forest setting.
It is the perfect place to begin or extend your exploration of the Kenai Peninsula. Activities
include guided hiking on the trails of the Chugach National Forest and the Kenai National Wildlife
Refuge; rafting the Kenai River amidst the backdrop of snow-clad peaks; wildlife viewing by trail
or raft for moose, spawning salmon, bald eagles, a wide
variety of other bird life and occasionally black and brown
bears; and just relaxing in the beautiful riverside setting.
Many guests come for the prime fishing for several
species of salmon, rainbow trout and Dolly Varden. Alaska
Wildland Adventures is one of the long-established guide
companies on the river, and our experience counts when
it comes to finding fish. Deep sea halibut fishing charters
can be arranged, and the port town of Seward is less than
an hour away. You can spend all your time fishing (see
pages 6–7) or include it as a feature for one or two days
of your stay. Many of our Alaska Adventures stay at Kenai
Riverside Lodge, and a pre-night stay here is included on
all Kenai Backcountry Lodge programs.
“Gosh, can anyone say ‘location, location, location?’ Gorgeous river setting and nicely appointed rooms. It was lovely. The staff was excellent and a special shout out to the
chef & kitchen staff - yummy!”

Wildlife Refuge.
Originally built as a hunting lodge in the 1930s, Kenai Backcountry Lodge has been restored to
retain its heritage with the careful addition of a few more log cabins and a few more modern
comforts, meticulously designed to be in context with the wild character of the setting.
The only hunting we do now is with a camera, and dramatic lake and mountain scenery, eagles,
moose and loons are favorite subjects. This property accommodates just 18 guests or fewer at a time to
enhance the peaceful environment and pristine setting.
From the lodge, a mountain trail leads hikers though a variety of ecosystems to alpine tundra. When
conditions allow, try guided kayaking in the evening to enjoy Alaska’s lingering summer sunset. Relax
around the campfire, enjoy a wood-fired sauna (with a quick dip in the lake, of course!) and seek out one
of many wonderful settings to take in the moods of the forest and lake. At the end of the day, family style
meals are crafted with care and served by candlelight in the
glowing warmth of the wood stove.
Extreme effort to reduce impact on the natural environment
is central to the development and operation of the lodge. A simple
but effective hydroelectric system provides power and reduces
the need for fossil fuels.
As a remote, boat-in only lodge, we preface two nights at
Kenai Backcountry Lodge with a stay at Kenai Riverside Lodge.
Guests board rafts in the morning for a scenic float trip to the
Backcountry Lodge, enjoying a picnic lunch along the way.
We feature Kenai Backcountry Lodge in many of our Alaska
Adventure itineraries.

The journey to and from the lodge is a dynamic experience in itself aboard our private vessel that

At the lodge, wildlife viewing opportunities and activity

bears along the shoreline. Learn about local wildlife and
Alaska’s dynamic geology on natural history explorations of
the Pedersen Glacier moraine. Or, pour yourself into a rocking

days to make the most of this pristine wilderness setting.

you can add one or both of the others at significant savings.

We pride ourselves in maintaining the “smaller is better” philosophy. If you are seeking rich experiences in this expansive place we call Alaska, think small. Small groups, small
boats, small vehicles. Your rewards for taking the path less traveled? More wildlife. More hospitality. More insight. More authenticity. More friends. More memories. And many,
many more smiles.
