2024 Map of Kenai C-2 NE

About this map

The Kenai National Wildlife Refuge dominates this section of the Kenai Peninsula, where a complex network of glacial kettle lakes and wetlands defines the northern landscape. Much of the southern half is preserved as the Kenai Wilderness (Dave Spencer Unit), characterized by the meandering path of the Moose River as it flows through extensive marshy lowlands. This territory is a primary corridor for non-motorized travel, highlighted by the Swan Lake Canoe Route, which connects numerous named water bodies including Swan Lake, Raven Lake, and Portage Lakes. Infrastructure is sparse in this protected area, with Swan Lake Road providing the primary land access to the northwest corner near Duckling Lake. The map illustrates the specialized water-based transportation system required to navigate this portion of the peninsula, where dry ground is the exception rather than the rule.
