Moose Pass and Trail Lake are located right next to the Iditarod National historic Trail. As a matter of fact, when we can, we love to participate on the trail crew to help restore the original trail for hikers and historians to enjoy. It’s a dream of ours to one day see this entire trail hikeable from Seward North, just like when it all started! We’ve got lots of stories to share about this amazing, important part of Alaskan history. - Moose Pass - This little town has quite the storied past. With one of the oldest schools and longest running libraries on the Kenai Peninsula, a grocery store that was moved across town on logs and a lodge and restaurant that started out as the remote Jockey Club, but once had black lights and a disco ball inside. Well, let’s just say, there’s plenty of things, people and places to talk about. We can’t wait.
- Trail Lake - After our general orientation and kayak instruction, we’ll spend some time kayaking across glacially fed Trail Lake. Trail Lake has Rainbow Trout, Lake Trout and other fish in it’s waters and empties into Kenai Lake, which allows for salmon to find their way up through as well! There are often bears or moose along the shores and plenty of Bald Eagles in the area as well.
- Chugach National Forest - The Chugach National Forest is a 6,908,540-acre (27,958 km2)[2] United States National Forest in south central Alaska. The Chugach includes extensive shorelines, glaciers, forests and rivers, much of which is untouched by roads or trails. It hosts numerous bird, mammal and marine species, including extensive shorebird habitat and a bald eagle population larger than the contiguous 48 states combined.

Experience two astounding glacial lakes by kayak! This adventure kicks off with a journey across Trail Lake located in Historic Moose Pass. Our guides bring the history of this small Alaskan town to life through captivating tales. Stories of local legends like Alaska Nellie, miner Al’s ghost, and the renowned Iditarod Trail provide great thought-provoking material as you paddle around the banks of Trail Lake. After a brief paddle south, we make our way to the shore for a hike down a segment of the Iditarod National Historic Trail leading up and beyond the ridge to the eye-catching, emerald waters of Grant Lake. The terrain is moderately rated, yet the rapid vegetation growth during spring and summer along the trail are reminders that this is wild, unspoiled Alaska. The emotions invoked by the panorama of Grant Lake are indescribable and the views are absolutely spectacular. We’ll pause to enjoy lunch here before once again embarking our kayaks to witness this breathtaking region from the water. Eventually, we will hike back down the trail towards Moose Pass.
