The fish don't come in like they used to and the crowds are bigger than ever, but the settings of wild beauty makes this place worth a stop. Listen carefully because if the ferry operator blows the air horn there's a grizzly in the immediate area.
This was a nice hike to the falls. The trail was clear and it was easy going. We were warned about bears, but we didn't see any. This was probably because we didn't see any salmon running either.
amazing views in the daylight hours. Very good interesting food. Things you wouldn't likely pair at home are the norm here. I had the only normal thing on the menu. Fish and chips excellent. Home made tar tar sauce wow! The server was very personable. Would go again.
Stayed at Russian River campground. Great quiet private campsite, river a short walk away. The river walkways are great. Saw multiple bears, salmon, eagles and a lot of people fishing on the river. Wished he stayed here longer than we did. Look forward to going back.
Bears, Bears and more Bears plus the fishing was great, Reds and silvers and more bears, The walk down from the campground is also handicap accessable
Caught several reds and rainbows this year on Kenai River close to head waters of Russian River. Did two floats this year and had good times.
There were so many people fishing here! So it was a bit uncomfortable...but other than that , the fishing was great! Very beautiful place but has bears and mosquitoes.
We camped here for two nights, great campground, lovely sites. The boardwalk was a great experience and we totally enjoyed the entire experience. The fish were abundant, the campgrounds were clean, no complaints at all.
We did a short 1 h walk to the russian river falls - saw a lot of salmosns waiting and trying to over the falls was fabulous seeing all the fishes jump up. No bears... But a lot of nature.
We arrived on a day that is was raining. the river was high so you could not see the Salmon. we did not catch any and did not see anyone catch any while we were there. Very informative rangers. there was a bear sighted while we were there.
