Humans have been traveling and adventuring in this region for thousands of years. Archeologists have discovered human-occupied sites dating as far back as the year 1200 and a fur trade post was set up by the Russian-American Company in Resurrection Bay in 1793. In 1903, the Seward area began to develop as it became the starting point of the Alaska Railroad. After more than a decade of proposals, the national park was finally established in 1980.
When you venture into the majestic landscapes of Kenai Fjords National Park, you’re heading into a wilderness area. Although weather here, like most wild areas, can be unpredictable, all conditions have their positives. Cloudy and rainy days often bring calmer water, for example. Dress appropriately!
