Fishing The Mouth Of The Kenai River
Fishing The Mouth Of The Kenai River, One of the easiest destinations for Kenai River salmon fishing, can be a very productive spot for the persistent fisherman.
Heading north through the city of Kenai, a left turn on S. Spruce St. will take you past baseball fields on your right (a great place for picnics) and Our Lady Of The Angels Catholic Church on the left and deposit you right on the north side of mile 0 of the mouth of the Kenai River.
With this being the mouth of the river, you’ll be right on the beach of the Cook Inlet, a GREAT place for agate hunting

With easy parking (assuming there is a space available) and a nice walk on the beach east to the river, this is one of the simplest destinations for salmon fishing in Alaska. Although the crowds can be daunting at the height of the season, early risers and the persistent will usually find success in finding the perfect spot in the sand for staking out their record Alaska King Salmon catching claim.
A few helpful tips for when you’re there…
- There are bathrooms available
- There are no camping facilities
- If you drive an RV or pull a trailer, you won’t be able to drive down to the actual mouth of the river. So, if you don’t have a car or a truck, expect a bit of a walk from the parking lot.
