## Overview

**Beginning Aug. 15, 2024, the Russian River Campground will be closed to the
Public for construction.**

Construction crews will rebuild and widen one mile of the access road, making
it more stable and resistant to frost heaves. During the closure, all vehicle
and pedestrian access will be restricted and campground reservations on
Recreation.gov will be unavailable. The Forest Service anticipates the first
day for reservation arrivals will be June 5, 2025.

Russian River Campground is perched between the Russian and Kenai Rivers in
south-central Alaska. It lies within driving distance of two main population
centers, 110 miles south of Anchorage and 40 miles east of Soldotna,
surrounded by the Chugach National Forest and the Kenai National Wildlife
Refuge.  

Each year, this area is visited by over 100,000 people who recreate at the
Russian River Campground, Ferry Access Site, Sportsman's Boat Launch, Russian
Lakes Trail and K'beq Site. Hiking, biking and fishing are popular pastimes.

## Recreation

The Russian River is the most popular sockeye salmon stream in Alaska and a
top-rated spot for rainbow trout. Retention of sockeye salmon is legal from
June 11th to August 20th. Silver salmon can be retained from July 1st to
September 30th. Trout can be retained from June 11th through April 30th.
Anglers are required to have a State of Alaska Fishing license and obey all
regulations and emergency orders.  
  
Kenai Peninsula is also a hiker's paradise, boasting hundreds of miles of
maintained trails. The following two trails are accessible from the
campground.  
  
The Russian Lakes Trail begins in the campground, and is the most popular
trail on the Chugach National Forest. Most hikers travel only 2.3 miles to
Russian River Falls where a viewing platform allows views of leaping salmon.
More ambitious hikers and backpackers can travel another 19 miles past two
lakes to the Upper Trailhead on Snug Harbor Rd. Along the trail, three public
use cabins can be reserved; Barber Cabin, Aspen Flats Cabin and Upper Russian
Lake Cabin.  
  
The Angler's Trail also begins in the Russian River Campground and travels
1.25 miles from the Russian River Canyon to the Kenai-Russian River
Confluence. Along the way, 22 sustainable river access points allow anglers to
enter the Russian River. At the confluence, hardy anglers can cross the
Russian River (hip-waders recommended) and continue along the Kenai River,
where another 15 access points are located. Staircases lead to this trail from
campground loops as well as day use parking lots.
