When it comes to Holidays, here is what you need to know. Memorial Day weekend is when the Kenai Peninsula truly wakes up from winter.
The Crowds and The Campgrounds (Holidays)
Mastering Holidays
Expect to see a massive influx of RVs and campers from Anchorage. Centennial Park and Swiftwater Park campgrounds in Soldotna will be at near capacity. If you are traveling down this weekend, ensure your lodging is locked in.
The Fishing Focus
The Russian River ferry opens soon, and early scouts are already looking for the first pushes of Sockeye. However, the guided fleet is 100% focused on the Kasilof River drift boat fishery for King Salmon, avoiding the chaotic bank fishing crowds entirely.
