Kenai Peninsula - Alaska's Bird and
Wildlife Viewing Paradise
| The
Kenai Peninsula has always been a mecca for bird and wildlife viewing.
Home of the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge, The Kenai Fjord's National
Park, Chugach National Forest, and various other state and national
wilderness treasures, the Kenai Peninsula is a pristine environment for
wildlife. Nonetheless, the Kenai Peninsula is also the most accessible
wilderness in all of Alaska. Road access is easy from Anchorage and the
Peninsula is accessible from one end to the other by car. In addition,
hiking trails and other wildlife viewing access points are abundant. |

With the introduction of the Kenai Peninsula Wildlife Viewing Trail,
access to all of this abundant wildlife just got easier! The Kenai
Peninsula Wildlife Viewing Trail is a collection of 65 bird and wildlife
viewing sites throughout the peninsula. The sites encompass all of
Kenai's major wildlife habitats, and range from roadside platforms to
backcountry trails. The sites covered by the trail are broken into four
regions of the Kenai Peninsula and can yield sightings of whales,
eagles, puffins, sea otters, bears, moose, caribou, warblers,
mergansers, loons, swans, terns, Ptarmigan - just to name a few. Also,
many of the shorebirds and passerines that can be seen along the way are
unique birds species sought after by birders throughout the world. There
is a wonderful guidebook available entitled Alaska's
Kenai Peninsula Wildlife Viewing Trail Guide (ISBN number
1-933375-05-1).
