Kenai

Seward's peninsula home

Kenai is a city and peninsula in south-central Alaska, known for its fishing, wildlife, and outdoor recreation.

The Kenai Peninsula juts into the Gulf of Alaska, home to fjords, glaciers, and the Kenai River—famous for salmon runs.

The name comes from the Dena'ina Athabascan people indigenous to the region.
