Soldotna Creek Park

Pull into the parking area at Soldotna Creek Park and the Sterling Highway suddenly seems miles away. You don’t have to be a fisherman to enjoy this 5 acre picturesque spot, but it’s okay if you are.

Picnic areas with barbecues are scattered through the trees and overlook the Kenai River. A pavilion with picnic tables stands ready in case you want a roof over your head while you eat. Playground equipment promises to keep the kids busy and there’s a volleyball net waiting to help you work off that delicious picnic lunch or dinner. Benches set to face the river provide a scenic Alaskan setting just right for daydreaming or the time-out of your choosing.

A wide trail that is handicapped accessible with assistance, leads to the mouth of Soldotna Creek and has over 500 feet of elevated boardwalk with river-access stair units that wind along the edge of the Kenai River.
