Welcome to the Kenai Peninsula

This sign welcomes visitors traveling by vehicle to the Kenai Peninsula. There is only one road into and out of the peninsula.

Alaska’s Kenai Peninsula extends 150 miles (240 km) southwest from the Chugach Mountains south of Anchorage. It is separated from the mainland on the west by the Cook Inlet and on the east by Prince William Sound. 

If you travel to the Kenai Peninsula by vehicle, you will see the sign picture above welcoming you to our home. Later down the road, you will pass the turn off to the small town of Hope.  Further along you will see the junction of the Seward Highway, which heads to the communities of Moose Pass and Seward, and the Sterling Highway, which heads east.

Cooper Landing is the first community you reach as you head east on the Sterling Highway.  This highway skirts the world famous Kenai Lake and Kenai River. Further east heads to Sterling, and on to Soldotna, Kenai and Nikiski, all of which border the Cook Inlet. The highway then turns southwest to trace the outside edge of the Kenai Peninsula. You travel through Kasilof, Clam Gulch, Ninilchik, Anchor Point and finally, Homer, Alaska where the road system ends.

From Homer, you can access the outlying coastal areas of Seldovia and Across the Bay, to access Kachemak Bay State Park.

Most of the Kenai Peninsula is part of the Kenai Peninsula Borough.
