    If you are in Kenai Peninsula county it's always a good idea to stop by Lower Summit Lake. Don't leave Lower Summit Lake without first going for a hike along the Carter Lake Trail, and a lake nearby is Summit Lake. This lake is so wonderful. There's nice hiking along the Devils Pass Trail; paddling on Canyon Creek is so much fun. The Grant Lake Trail offers hiking at its best, and why not a little side visit to Block Creek.
Dry warm beds await you at Trail
 
   Lake Lodge, of course you could also check out Carter Lake since you're here; it's not far at all. That right there is a heap already, but it keeps on going; Lower Summit Lake has it all. Get soaked paddling on Sixmile River; Kenai Fjords National Park is a delightful national park. Coeur D'Alene Campground is a magnificent campground nearby, and if you need a location to stay Hotel Edgewater and Conference Center is a good choice.

Carter Lake Trail

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
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
15 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....

Johnsons Lake is an amazing place for family camping. The lake is great to swim in and has alot of fish to catch....
