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.
