Welcome to Soldotna

On Alaska’s Kenai Peninsula, where the Kenai River winds to the eastern shore of Cook Inlet, Soldotna is a tiny town of 4,000 that draws thousands of visitors each summer to some of the state’s best fishing water. The river is home to yearly runs of the world’s largest king salmon, and the big kings, along with sockeye and silver salmon, trophy-sized rainbow trout, and Dolly Varden char, make Soldotna the state’s most popular sportfishing destination. Shopping, dining, and many riverfront parks make the city fun, while surrounding mountain and river wild spaces including the majestic Kenai National Wildlife Refuge invite visitors to go bear and wildlife watching, hiking, kayaking, rafting and more.
