About This Access Site
The Izaak Walton State Park boat ramp provides convenient access to the Moose River, a large, fast-flowing river that is a popular destination for kayakers, canoeists, and motorized boaters on Alaska's Kenai Peninsula. The boat ramp is located at the confluence of the Kenai and Moose Rivers, surrounded by the spruce forests of Izaak Walton State Park.

The Moose River is a major waterway, measuring over 312 miles long with an average flow of over 1,300 cubic feet per second. Paddlers can expect swift currents and a moderately steep gradient, making this an excellent river for more experienced boaters. The park offers basic amenities like vault toilets and fire rings, but no other services, so visitors should come prepared.

Whether you're launching a kayak, canoe, or motorized boat, the Izaak Walton State Park boat ramp provides a well-maintained entry point to explore the Moose River and the surrounding Kenai National Wildlife Refuge. The park's scenic setting and proximity to the confluence make it a popular destination for fishing, wildlife viewing, and other water-based recreation on Alaska's Kenai Peninsula.
