  • Hiking trails were great. I really enjoyed looking around the forest. The visitor center had some great exhibits. Definitely worth a stop

  • A nice place to learn about the wildlife of the Kenai Peninsula. Did you know there were no laws concerning harvesting animals until about 1902? Before that anyone could shoot, buy, or sell just about any animal they could get. Hands on exhibits let you get in touch with the surrounding nature, like the feel of real bears fur. Facilities have restrooms and water.
  • Fun education center. Great trails to a pothole lake. Take bug spray. Cute gift shop. Elsewhere in the refuge are trails to hike. This one pictured was 4 miles round trip to a skilak lake overlook. Was moderate difficulty. Beautiful vista.
