| | This lake is so wonderful. There's whitewater on Sixmile River for all you adrenaline rush seekers. There's so much to do here at Crescent Lake that you need to camp here for a while, Primrose Landing Campground is a great place for that, and dry warm beds await you at Hotel Edgewater and Conference Center. This lake is so wonderful. On a gorgeous day you get a view of Wrong Mountain from Crescent Lake, and why not take a refreshing hike along the Lost Lake | |

Trail. If you have a thing about the outdoors, you'll love Crescent Lake. There are some tremendous whitewater spots on Canyon Creek, and Kenai Fjords National Park is a delightful local destination. Crescent Lake gets a common
amount of annual precipitation; all through October this area sees the most rain; the driest of the months is May. Trail Lake Lodge is a magnificent place to get some rest; as expected, this is a good area for folks who like lakes,
Tern Lake is a lake around here. The Devils Pass Trail offers hiking at its best, and if you came to camp Bear Creek RV Park is a good spot to do that.

Carter Lake Trail
 | 1 PHOTO Took the hike from the Seward highway and it was a very well maintained trail and good parking lot with even bathrooms. The hike was very intense and switch backed multiple times. Tiny streams cross your path. Once up top it is beautiful. After some time walking threw the alpine, you come across a trail which to the left take you to the lake and to the right takes you to the bear box and camping area. It's a stocked lake so bring your rod.... |

Sixmile River
 | 15 miles away I did 6 mile this summer, what a rush!!! Some things to know... it is a series of three canyons, the first two are considered more class IV but the third canyon is definitley class V. There are two companies that operate on the river, Chugach Outdoor and Nova. I went with Chugach but I hear that they are both good. I reccomend (and give an AWA, shout out to) the guides ''Pizza'' and ''Charlie'' from Chugach outdoor, great people! The canyons are very narrow. Oh and the last thing. You have to wear a dry suit and complete a swim test wearing it (in the river) before you can go. The water is frigid and there is no room for error. Make sure to get a suit with a good neck gasket. Mine was loose and water rushed in the second I started swimming brrrr! If you're looking for a great place to stay check out Alaska Wildland Adventures in Cooper Landing.... |
Johnson Pass Trail
 | 18 miles away Is johnson Creek Suitable to float down in a small paddle boat? Thanks...As a Kenai Peninsula hiker and resident, I can say that Johnson Pass Trail is a winner. It's a relatively easy, well-established trail, through beautiful alpine terrain (especially on the north side of the pass). I've done the traverse both as a long 23-mile day hike, and as a 2-day backpack. There are no established campgrounds on the trail - make your own site and leave no trace. Water is available in streams and lakes pretty much all along the trail - but filter or treat all Alaska's water. I recommend going from North to South, especially if you do it as a one-day mega hike. It's also a favorite for mountain bikers.... |
Johnson Lake
 | 19 miles away 1 PHOTO Johnson Lake is is pure bliss. only electric motors are allowed & like all Alaskan lakes, no live bait.

The lake is great to swim in and has alot of fish to catch.... |
