Between July 10th - July 31st on the Kenai River, you can see what is called "dipnetting" by Alaskan residents. They’ll be out to catch sockeye, Kings, and Pink salmon. It's a sight to see!

Great small town store for original Alaskan-made gifts, home, and souvenirs. It is a 15-20 minute drive north of Kenai, but worth the drive! Next to it is the restaurant Tree House, a coffee shop, small town grocery store, and a dessert shop.
