Review:
The Captain Cook State Recreation Area is a hidden gem of the Kenai Peninsula. Virtually unknown and relatively undiscovered by those unfamiliar with Kenai, this recreation area is a serene and peaceful outdoor destination that features thriving forests, a huge lake, many streams, and saltwater beaches. As its name states, Captain Cook State Park has a few recreational activities to enjoy.
Stormy Lake is great for bird watching, berry picking, and canoeing during the summer months, while also being a top ice fishing location during the winter. Wildlife enthusiasts can catch glimpses of beluga whales, moose, bears, harbor seals, and more, while other activities like camping, hiking, and biking are also available.
