Kenai River, Upper Skilak Boat Ramp and Skilak Lake Road to
reopen to boaters Tuesday, Sept. 17.
The portion of the Kenai River
from Jims Landing to Skilak Lake will be reopened for boating at 12:01 a.m. on
Tuesday, Sept. 17. Upper Skilak Boat Launch and Skilak Lake Road will also be
opened at the same time to allow for take out and launch of boats.
Recent rain has dampened
firefighting activity and has allowed crews to remove downed trees from roads
within the Skilak Wildlife Recreation Area. The only area remaining closed on
the Kenai River is the channel on the south side of the river from approximately
River Mile 69.5 to River Mile 71.5, to support firefighting activity.
No campgrounds or trails within
or adjacent to the Skilak Wildlife Recreation Area are now open. Boaters may
use the parking areas at the Upper and Lower Skilak boat ramps and Jims Landing
Boat Ramp. Restrooms at these locations are open as well.
Although fire danger has
decreased over much of the Kenai Peninsula, residents and visitors should
remain aware and prepared. For statewide fire information, visit the AICC
website at https://fire.ak.blm.gov/ or http://www.akfireinfo.com.
