Kenai occupies a low coastal terrace at the mouth of the Kenai River on Cook Inlet, on Alaska’s Kenai Peninsula. The city is closely associated with the river’s salmon runs, which underpin a longstanding fishing tradition and set the rhythm of the summer season. Old Town Kenai preserves a reminder of Alaska’s Russian era in the Holy Assumption of the Virgin Mary Russian Orthodox Church, part of a National Historic Landmark. The wide waters of Cook Inlet define Kenai’s western horizon, while the peninsula extends south toward forests, lakes and glacier-fed waterways.
