Trail River Campground is a great spot for anglers looking for some stunning mountain scenery. The campground is nestled in a forest of hemlock and spruce, between the Trail River and Kenai Lake. Cast a line for dolly varden and rainbow trout in the river, or trout and grayling in the lake, all the while surrounding by views of snow-capped mountains in the distance. Hikers and bikers can also head out on the many miles of trails through the rugged mountains, past streams and through forests. Entrance roads are sometimes groomed for freestyle and Nordic skiing in the winter months, so bring along your skis!
