Russian River Falls

Russian River Falls cascade into a riparian canyon covered in a thick undergrowth of devil's clubs, ferns, and alder. You may view a mixed white spruce forest along the lower route with open spaces scattered about. Lower and Upper Russian Lakes, as well as alpine regions, are located further up the trail. The Russian River on the Kenai Peninsula also entices several tourists during the exhilarating yearly salmon river rushes between May and September and tumbles over sharp rocks to form a lovely waterfall. A little more than an hour from Seward, the waterfall's trailhead is situated off the Sterling Highway.

One of Alaska's most iconic sights is seeing the falls in the lovely canyon while wild sockeye salmon leap upstream. Reach the viewing platform for the waterfall and animal viewing by hiking the straightforward two-mile walk through a mixed white spruce forest; this is one of the best places to observe brown and black bears eating the salmon.

Russian River Falls is one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Alaska to visit for both waterfalls and once-in-a-lifetime animal viewing chances.
