Portfolio of Management Plans

Foundation Statement (2013)

The Foundation Statement describes the unit's purpose, significance, fundamental resources and values, primary interpretive themes, and special mandates.

General Management Plan (1984)

Comprehensive park plan that guides the long-term management of resources, visitor use, and general development at the park.

Frontcountry Management Plan and Environmental Assessment (2024)

Finding of No Significant Impact (2025)

The National Park Service (NPS) has completed a Frontcountry Management Plan and Environmental Assessment (EA) for the frontcountry area of Kenai Fjords National Park (KEFJ), near Seward, Alaska. The purpose of the Frontcountry Management Plan is to provide long-term direction for resource stewardship and visitor use in the park's most accessible area. The plan defines desired conditions for natural and cultural resources and visitor experiences, while addressing challenges related to climate-driven landscape change, shifting visitor patterns, and operational needs. The selected alternative, described in the EA and formalized in a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI), includes updated management zones, new strategies for visitor access and interpretation, and expanded opportunities for winter recreation. This plan will guide management of the frontcountry area for the next 15 to 20 years.

State of the Park Report (2017)

As part of the stewardship of national parks for the American people, the NPS has begun to develop State of the Park reports to assess the overall status and trends of each park's resources. The NPS will use this information to improve park priority setting and to synthesize and communicate complex park condition information to the public in a clear and simple way.

Bear Management Plan (2013)

Policy and procedures to protect the park's population of bears.

NPS Alaska Regional Management Guidelines
