Lakefront Base Camp with Mountain Vistas
Kenai Lake’s clear water and surrounding peaks form the backdrop for your glamping base camp, where the setting is as much a draw as the programmed activities.
Choose Fishing or White‑Water Rafting
On the second day guests set off for either a trout or silver salmon fishing day (season‑dependent) or a six‑mile white‑water rafting trip out of Hope, AK.
