This glacier fed lake is all shades of beautiful turquoise. This area is popular for fishing, wildlife watching, and rafting down the beautiful rapids of Kenai River.
Many people’s first thought is how cold the water is and if they would fall off the paddle board. Paddle boards are actually surprisingly stable, and you can choose to kneel on the board instead of standing for greater stability.
You can try out the easy, two-hour Beginner Tour that explores the immediate surrounding area for a quick trip. If you want to dive deeper into the stunning area, try out their half and full-day adventures where you can get up close and personal with the mountains, waterfalls, and the shoreline on Kenai Lake.
If you want to try paddle boarding somewhere really unique, you can purchase their Spencer Lake Iceberg Paddle, where you ride the train from Portage to Spencer Lake and kayak among the icebergs! There are so many wonderful ways to explore Alaska with this cool company.
They offer four different cabins with different price ranges and amenities, but all close to the beautiful Kenai Lake. This is a great way to spend your vacation, adventuring around the Kenai Peninsula.
For the beginner tour, prices start at $65.00 per person for an adult, and $32.50 per person for children under 12. The half-day, full-day, and Spencer Lake tours start at $125.00 per adult and $62.50 per person and go up from there.
This is one adventure you’ll talk about forever! The next weekend you find free, make your way over to the Kenai Peninsula, and you’ll find out why they call it “Alaska’s Playground!"
