Kenai Peninsula, Alaska
About This Lodge
Welcome to the Kenai Riverside Fishing program at Kenai Riverside Lodge, your destination for incredible Alaska fishing experiences. Kenai Riverside Fishing is part of Alaska Wildland Adventures, a long-time operator of guided fishing trips since 1977. Our trips explore the world-famous Kenai River for freshwater species, like king and sockeye salmon, rainbow trout and Dolly Varden.
We also fish Resurrection Bay for halibut and silver salmon. Whether you are a seasoned angler or a first time fisherman, we’ll put you on the fish! Flexible Fishing Options and Activities Our itineraries are flexible to accommodate the needs and interests of your group or family.
From groups that are 100% focused on fishing to those who want to mix in other activities such as hiking, sightseeing, or rafting, we can create an itinerary to match the interests of everyone in your party. Review our sample itineraries to get ideas on trips for non-fishing family members or friends, organize a special group fishing trip, or ask us to create a custom itinerary to meet your needs. Knowledgeable Guides & Excellent Fishing Opportunities Our guides are friendly, knowledgeable, and will outfit you with only top-quality fishing equipment and gear.
The banks of the upper Kenai River offer productive fishing for sockeye salmon, silver salmon, rainbow trout and Dolly Varden. Fishing the lower Kenai River offers the ultimate Alaska sportfishing challenge: the chase for the world’s largest Alaska king salmon or hard-fighting silver salmon, depending upon the season. Fishing for halibut and silver salmon in Resurrection Bay out of Seward is an awesome salt-water fishing experience with incredible scenery and wildlife viewing as a bonus.

Accommodations
At Kenai Riverside Lodge, you’ll stay in one of our eight log cabins nestled in the trees surrounding our main lodge building. In accord with our natural riverside setting, each of the cabins exhibits the rustic charm of historical Alaskan pioneer cabins, only with the addition of a few modern day creature comforts like heat, electric lights, private bath and comfy beds. Adirondack chairs await you on your front porch to relax in while you take in the sounds of the Kenai River under the midnight sun.
We have purposefully opted not to have TVs, phones or Internet connection in your cabins. You will, however, experience a strong connection to the natural world around you!Our cozy cabins accommodate up to four people, but our guests tell us they are most comfortable with two in a cabin. With such spectacular scenery awaiting outside, most of our guests find that they spend more time out of their cabins than in; you’ll want to step out to enjoy our location on the banks of the beautiful Kenai River.
Boats
Drift Boats – Many anglers consider drift boats to be the ultimate river craft. We feature 18-foot models custom designed for the Kenai River that fish up to four anglers. These boats are the best for accessing the “drift-only” waters of the upper Kenai.Power Boats – We fish from custom 26-foot open hull Willie Nemesis boatsfor ocean trips and 20-foot Willie Predator boats on the lower Kenai.Our boats comfortably fit up to four anglers.
However, if you prefer a more intimate fishing experience, we are happy to accommodate a private boat, based on availability and at an additional cost.
