Commonly known as Alaska's Boundary Waters, the Swan Lake and Swanson River canoe routes are located in the northern lowlands of the 2 million acre Kenai National Wildlife Refuge.
​
The Refuge was established to conserve the fish and wildlife and habitats of the Kenai Peninsula in their natural diversity as well as provide opportunities for fish and wildlife oriented recreation.
​
The canoe routes are located in an area that is a nationally designated wilderness area. The routes are also National Recreation Trails. The landscape was revealed by the receding glaciers 26,000 yers ago.
​
Painstakingly untouched by man, the Refuge reveals nature in its most raw and pristine condition. View animals who rarely see human beings. Fish for Trout which are descendants from the ancient species.
