Cooper Landing Guide

Our home town: one bend of turquoise river, endless ways to spend a day.

Cooper Landing is a river town of a few hundred people at the outlet of Kenai Lake, halfway between Anchorage and Homer. It's the natural basecamp for the peninsula: fish in the morning, hike at midday, raft in the afternoon, and be back at the roadhouse for dinner and live music.

Highlights

  • Kenai River & Russian River confluence — 5 minutes away
  • Kenai Lake overlooks and kayak launches — 10 minutes
  • Day trips: Seward (1 hr), Soldotna (45 min), Homer (2¼ hr)
