Cooper Landing makes the perfect base camp for outdoor enthusiasts of all sorts. Hikers, mountain bikers, boaters, ice-skaters, and backcountry skiers can all find their personal paradise in the surrounding wilderness. And for the casual crew, there are easy nature walks, gold panning opportunities and more.
If you want to get on the water, Cooper Landing is the place to launch. Enjoy turquoise tranquility on a gentle, scenic day float. Liven it up with a thrilling Class III whitewater run through Kenai Canyon. Or try paddleboarding, canoeing or kayaking on Kenai Lake. River floats are generally 2-3 hours, or 5-6 hours if you include the canyon. Watch for eagles, songbirds, waterfowl, bears, moose, and coyotes as you float through the incredible wilderness beauty.
