At a Glance
This smaller unit is found on the Kenai Peninsula and lies just south of Anchorage. The southern end of this unit is fairly developed with the large towns of Sterling, Soldotna, and Kenai located in close proximity. A good road system will lead hunters throughout the unit but will add obvious increases in hunting pressure. This unit is almost entirely comprised of large boggy and marshy areas, though a small collection of steep mountain ridges are available on the eastern edge of the unit. A large majority of this unit is composed of the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge but is open to hunting.
With a healthy road system and several large towns and cities within close proximity, this unit can see fair amounts of pressure at times. Good access options exist for hunting remote areas.
Quick Tips
