Alaskas Kenai Jims Lodge & Guide Service

On the world famous Kenai River some people catch Alaska salmon that outweigh their own body weight. The largest race of king salmon known in the world enters the glacial, turquoise waters of the Kenai River each year. The present sport fishing world record for king salmon was set on May 17, 1985 on the Kenai River and now stands at 97 lbs. 4 ozs.; that giant salmon was not alone that day in the Kenai, because our Alaska salmon fishing guide service landed an 85 pound salmon that same morning. Our guests have over the years taken hundreds of giant Kenai king salmon over 50 pounds on our guided sportfishing trips.

Your Alaska vacation can be very accessible and affordable for those who want an adventure to the Land of the Midnight Sun. Our Alaska Lodge is easily accessible from Anchorage International Airport. Most visitors fly into Anchorage and rent a vehicle to take the three hour (150 miles) scenic drive through the Chugach Mountains to our location at Soldotna, Alaska. Soldotna is Russian for "soldier" and is a small community of about 5000 residents founded upon the banks of the Kenai River. Our sister city of Kenai is located at the mouth of the Kenai River about 10 miles away and is about the same size as Soldotna. You will find the Kenai Peninsula surrounded by water and wilderness. You can experience the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge, the Harding Icefields, the Kenai Fjords, numerous lakes, rivers, volcanoes, and glaciers; yet, you can also access our modern supermarkets, restaurants, and lodging too.
