High Adventure Air was able to accommodate putting me on a fly out sockeye salmon charter within a day...it was such last minute on my part but I had to go and every other company was completely booked! I wouldn't even look for another company to go out with, this is your place to go. It's in Soldotna right on the water, they have planes flying in and out all day! My guide was Drew and he was awesome! Our pilot was Ben who did an awesome job navigating us to and from our fishing spot! There were four people in the group headed out on an awesome Beaver seaplane. The flight was about 30 minutes from the office which wasn't bad at all especially with the beautiful scenery along the way. When we arrived (with the smoothest landing ever) we hopped in a small boat and immediately Drew made sure we understood the rules and safety for the trip, along with our daily itinerary. He was able to answer all of our questions and share his knowledge about the land and fishing. His stories were really cool to hear! Once we anchored down at our fishing spot Drew was sure to brief us on how the reels worked, how to cast correctly, and how we could be successful at catching fish. Wouldn't you know within the first 5 minutes two of the guys on the boat caught fish. It took me a little longer than everyone else but Drew was patient and helped everyone else. We all hit our limit catching sockeye (red) salmon in less than an hour! Afterwards Drew drove us around and showed us different spots on the water and we even saw some bears! He took us to a cool waterfall spot to have our pictures taken with our fish too! Then he filleted our salmon and divided it up amongst us evenly and gave it to us in individual bags so it was easy to take home. He surprised us by bringing some cooking supplies and he cooked us some salmon right there! It was the freshest tasting salmon ever and it had a great homemade seasoning that he makes! Then he drove us around some more to show us another spot where we may see bears, but also where salmon jump up a creek bed to spawn. Unfortunately we didn't see any jumping up the creek but we did see them flopping out of the water in that area. The plane came back to pick us up right on time, and Ben (the pilot) took us on a surprise detour to see a glacier before flying back! This entire day was awesome and I would definitely recommend! The price is totally worth it and it's not even as expensive as other fly out companies. If I am ever back in Anchorage I will definitely come on this trip again! **tips** - Bring layers! The day started out with not a cloud in the sky and by the end of our charter it was pouring rain and about 45°. - Bring and wear bug spray/lotion! I promise you there are tons of mosquitos! - Pack some snacks/sandwiches or something to hold you over because it's a long day out there!

The scenery and wildlife were an added bonus. The entire staff was wonderful. We had daily housekeeping service, continental breakfast every day (or you can cook your own with their supplied groceries), and complete fish processing. Each day our catch was processed into portion sizes, vacuum packed, and into the deep freezer. When we were getting ready to leave, our fish was packed into insulated boxes to check as luggage on the plane. We just wish we had done this 30 years ago! Would love to do this again if time permits. Earl & Francis August 2022

Our state and federal parks will only continue to be a resource for all people.to share if they have adequate park ranger staffing 5o ensure our parks are protected and cared for. People are just leaving fish waste on the beach which is super dangerous and disgusting, and frankly RUDE. This location was the worst I have ever seen. I saw so much remains on the beach, including eggs. It was absolutely shocking. Normally, when its not dipnetting time, this is a beautiful beach, with sandy beaches and clear views of the snowy volcanoes. Its a mixed bag, depending on when you visit.

Meh, so some of this is my bias... If you are the kind of person that likes someone up your ass…read morewhile you are camping, you'll like this place. I do not. The campsites are so close together you can touch your neighbor's camping gear. Some people like the safety in numbers thing, which is can appreciate, but I also know that if you arent an idiot when you camp, you shouldn't have any issues with animals. So I want some privacy, trees and shrubbery separating me from my campsite from the next campsite. This site is more for RV glampers and fishermen. There are a few day use sites and tent sites as well, which are a bit more wooded in the boreal part of the campground closer to the Kasilof River. That said, I still wouldn't camp here. It is a nice place for a walk or to birdwatching though, especially if you have a state park pass so you can bypass the $5 parking charge. $20 to camp per night. NOTE: At the time of my writing, in 2025, we have visited about 20 state sites in the Kenai Peninsula and none of the camphosts had wood for sale. This appears to be the new norm. So come prepared. I have noticed that grocery stores are charging an exorbitant amount for wood ($9!). Look along roads for locals selling wood with self pay cash sites for 5 or 6 dollars.
