The Kasilof is a glacier-fed river located south of Anchorage that provides some extremely beautiful scenery and lots of solitude for paddling and fishing. The river is the 2nd largest freshwater fishery on the Kenai Peninsula. The run is a good option for intermediate and advanced paddlers due to class II whitewater rapids, submerged hazards, and very cold water. This trip starts from the put-in at the campground and covers 9.5 miles to a take-out at the Kasilof River State Recreation Area. Paddlers can also choose to cover an additional 8 miles to the outlet into Cook Inlet.
