   We did the half-day fishing trip on the Upper Kenai with Kevin as our guide. It was INCREDIBLE! During 4-5 hours on the water, the three of us in the boat caught dozens of fish. Kevin was the best guide, he was super helpful and encouraging, especially since it was my first time fly fishing. Overall it was the experience of a lifetime See more..
   
2. 4.5 Russian River Falls (133 reviews)
   - Nice Hike
   Spent 1-2 hours Waterfalls
   
   
   We did this hike to the upper falls during our time in Cooper Landing. This is an easy 5.2 miles (out & back) hike with beautiful falls at the end. Parking can be difficult - so I recommend coming early. Others we passed saw a bear and 3 cubs - but we missed them. The views are beautiful and watching the water - and salmon jumping is mesmerizing. See more..

4. 4.5 Kenai Cache Outfitters (59 reviews)
   - Great Outfitter
   Fishing Charters & Tours
   
   
   We had booked the full day walk-in / wade-out on the Russian River to fish for King salmon. Unfortunately, due to the King salmon being way behind expected arrival times and a ban on catching and keeping any Kings we felt this would be a useless trip. The owner was pleasant and worked with us to find a suitable solution. We agreed on a partial refund and a 1/2 day fishing excursion on the Kenai. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Had several trout on the line, but couldn't land them. Since trout is a catch and release fish, it was no big deal to not get them into the boat. The scenery along the river was beautiful. See more..
