This paddling trip starts from Lower Skilak Lake Campground and follows the shoreline of the large glacial lake west up the Kenai River to Bings Landing. The trip follows scenic and rugged shoreline where lots of wildlife and birdlife can be seen. The portion on the river is fairly wide and can be easily paddled in either direction. The river, however, does get very crowded during fishing season resulting in unfavorable paddling conditions. Water on Skilak Lake can be very unpredictable during bad weather and the water temperature is cold so be cautious and stay close to shore.
