ケナイ半島地区の湖・トップ11

Just what the name suggests! There are a couple of small, pretty lakes, and a bit of a footpath leading around them. This park is an uninterrupted part of the woodlands around Seward; it's not maintained or "groomed" in any sense, except probably for some trail maintenance now and then.

A cherished spot for both locals and visitors, this lagoon is a popular destination for fishing. Experience the thrill of catching fish from mid May to mid September. The park also provides amenities such as fish cleaning tables, restrooms, and a small picnic area. Stay informed about regulations through the Alaska Department of Fish & Game, which can change with the seasons.

Everyone talks about how beautiful Lost Lake is, but they don't always mention its size: This lake is enormous! Even when its sloping shoreline is littered with (literal) happy campers, it's still very easy to find your own pocket of peace and quiet.

The Crescent Creek Trailhead sits at the end of a rather rough access road, but it's worth the drive. The trail in front of you is a pleasant, swooping singletrack through light forest, eventually descending to a tiny gravel beach on the shores of aptly named Crescent Lake. If you look at it on a map, you'll see that it is shaped like a crescent-shaped smile.

There is public access to the shore of Upper Russian Lake, but if you want to stay in the Upper Russian Lake public use cabin, it must be reserved in advance for a fee: https://www.recreation.gov/camping/campgrounds/233006

Lower Russian Lake offers a tranquil, grassy lakeshore set against a dramatic mountain backdrop. There is also a Forest Service public use cabin here, the Barber Cabin, which must be reserved in advance for a fee: https://www.recreation.gov/camping/campgrounds/233026

It is an incredible part of the world where you can see icebergs calmly floating in the middle of the lake.

Lonely place with fantastic silence
