Wildlife Viewing
Bears, moose, eagles and salmon — often without leaving the highway.
The Kenai is working wilderness. Brown bears fish the Russian River falls in July, moose browse the roadside willows at dawn, bald eagles patrol the confluence, and Dall sheep dot the crags above Kenai Lake. Keep your camera close.
Highlights
- Russian River Falls viewing platforms in salmon season
- Tern Lake (20 min) for swans, loons and moose
- Kenai River flats for eagles at dawn and dusk
