The Centennial Park boat ramp and access site offers a convenient entry point to the renowned Kenai River in Soldotna, Alaska. Situated just below the Kenai River bridge, this state-owned facility provides access to the large, swift-flowing river that drains the Kenai Mountains.
The Kenai River is a substantial waterway, measuring over 97 miles in length with an average flow of over 1,000 cubic feet per second. Paddlers and boaters can expect moderate to swift currents, with an average gradient of 4.2 feet per mile. This makes the Kenai an ideal destination for experienced river users, though caution is advised.
Centennial Park offers both a boat ramp and an expansive campground, making it a popular hub for those exploring the Kenai River by watercraft. The park features 25 sets of stairs providing direct access to the riverbank, as well as two 85-foot fishing platforms, one of which is handicap-accessible. Boaters should be prepared to pay an $8 fee for 12 hours of access and use the on-site fish cleaning stations as needed.
