Discover Kenai Fjords National Park


Kenai Fjords National Park is situated on the Kenai Peninsula, in far southern Alaska. This large finger of land juts into the Gulf of Alaska and, from there, the North Pacific Ocean. The national park is in a very remote area with the small town of Seward, which sits just east of the park's boundaries, being the only larger, local community. The nearest larger town is Kenai, which is around 100 miles to the northwest, while the nearest large city is Anchorage, at around 120 miles to the north.

A fjord is defined as a narrow inlet of the sea that travels between steep cliffs. This perfectly describes the landscape where Kenai Fjords National Park is situated. Rugged, rocky, snow-capped mountains surround the glacial-blue water that the park is known for. There are so many activities available here, both on land and via the water, you won't have time to get bored!
