Kenai Peninsula Borough

Kenai Peninsula stretches from Turnagain Arm and Cook Inlet to the Gulf of Alaska, encompassing glaciated mountains, spruce forest, and a deeply indented coast. The Kenai Mountains form its eastern backbone, while the Kenai River is renowned for salmon runs and links Kenai Lake with Cook Inlet. Communities such as Seward, Homer, Soldotna, and Kenai face very different waters and weather patterns. In Kenai, the Holy Assumption of the Virgin Mary Church reflects the Russian Orthodox heritage that remains part of Alaska’s cultural map. Fishing, boating, and backcountry travel are central to life here, where roads reach some coasts but large tracts remain roadless.
