About
Close to some of the best fishing on the Kenai Peninsula. Situated almost halfway between the Kenai River and Homer, Alaska. About 45 - 50 minutes either way. My land is on the bluff overlooking Deep Creek with views of Mt Illiamna, Mt Redoubt, and on a clear day, Mt Spur. All three are active volcanos that erupted last time in the late 80's. Redoubt is about 45 miles across the inlet and is still actively venting steam (which is a very good thing.) Fishing access is at the mouth of the river 2 miles away. Catch and release only for salmon and steelhead as the spawning grounds directly below the bluff. You'll be able to see them if you are wearing polarized sunglasses. Dolly Vardens are keepers there. Lots of eagles to watch (they will sometimes fly low and scold you, but if you are not a tiny dog or cat, you will be safe (LOL.) Outhouse, picnic table, a children only swing set, and BBQ grill available. Please feel free to use them all. No fireworks at camp. Some tent spaces available along driveway. 3 Bears Grocery store and Tesoro gas station (can refill propane tanks) in Ninilchik. Local Attractions: Russion Orthodox Church on the oceanside bluff in Ninilchik. Local deep sea fishing charters. Hiking, Homer wildlife sanctuary, Kenai River fishing charters and float trips down the Kenai River, clamming at Clam Gulch. Local fish processing available. 3 hour drive to Seward and a 4-1/2 hour drive from Anchorage. If you have time, either charter a flight or take the water taxi from Homer to Seldovia. Bring a kite to fly on the beach. Watch the tractor boat launch into the surf in Ninilchik. Favorite Restaurants: Ninilchik: The Buzz for awesome coffee, tea and baked treats. Inlet View Restaurant. Roscoe's for great Philly sandwiches. They also do great pizzas and calzones. I've been told by several guests that the local Thai restaurant is very good...tried it myself and I 100% agree with my guests. In Homer: Captain Patties for great halibut. Cosmic Cafe for soups and sandwiches (I definitely recommend their BLTs). Fat Olive's - best Pizza and gourmet soups and salads in Homer. Both feature fresh farm to market fare. Speaking of farm to market, there is a Saturday market in Homer. Favorite campfire treat: Straw'mores. Clean and cut tops off fresh strawberries. Pat very dry with paper towels. Skewer onto hot dog roasting sticks, coat with Marshmallow Fluff and toast over the campfire. You won't be able to eat just one!
