Basic Information

Designated as a National Park through the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA) in 1980, Kenai Fjords maintains the scenic and environmental integrity of this landscape of ice, tidewater glaciers, deeply chiseled fjords, jagged peninsulas and the abundance of thriving life it supports.

While Kenai Fjords National Park holds over 600,000 acres within its boundaries, visitors primarily access the park by road to retreating Exit Glacier and by water along its stunning coast. Start planning your visit by using the links below.
