Guided Kayak Tour on Trail Lake

Overview

Our guides bring this small Alaskan town’s history to life and the stories of locals like Alaska Nellie, Gold Miner Joe, Mad Sally and the Iditarod Trail provide plenty to ponder as you paddle along the shores of Trail Lake. Whether you’re visiting us from the campground down the street, part of a wedding party lodging here in town, or just passing through on an epic Seward Highway road trip, Moose Pass has so much to offer. There’s no better way to get out and experience the nature and beauty of the area than in our two person kayaks, right here in the heart of the Chugach Mountains!

What To Expect

Iditarod National Historic Trail

We love sharing our knowledge about Alaska. From it's amazing human history to it's rugged geologic past. Trail Lake is located on the Historic Iditarod Trail and we'll even travel under the Alaskan Railroad. 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 around 2 hours of our trip on the 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.

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

We went for a recent adventure with Moose Pass Adventures and it was superb! We paddled the scenic Trail Lake while our incredibly knowledgeable guide, Jen, taught us all about the strong humans who made this area what it is today. We then hiked to Grant Lake learning all about the native vegetation- what to admire from afar but not touch (Monks Hood!) and what to enjoy close up (ripe blueberries!). We didn’t mind the rain one bit, we actually enjoyed its tranquility! This is because we had been well prepared by the company as to what we could expect with weather. Moose Pass Adventures has it dialed in from beginning to end. We couldn’t imagine a better way to spend a Wednesday in July. Can’t wait to come back. -Kate and Gus

We agree - let’s do that again! 😀 We are so glad you came kayaking with us and loved getting to show you around the area. You two and your pup were so fun and we had a blast doing some bush whacking on the trail to Grant Lake as well. So glad we got to see some wildlife (from a safe distance!) as well! Your help and support in taking the time to write us a review means so much to us! See you all again soon!

Great tour on a gorgeous lake in Moose Pass! We had the opportunity to see float planes in action and watch a train go by on the Alaska railroad - classic Alaska experience, and an easy, short drive from Seward. The team was flexible and able to accommodate us on short notice, and were clearly very knowledgeable both about kayaking and the surrounding area. Would absolutely go back next time we're in town!

This trip was AMAZING!!! We have gone on kayaking tours in several different places and this beat them all out of the water! Pun intended :)! They didn’t JUST take us kayaking…there were 3 surprise detours that I don’t want to spoil for you…but suffice it to say, my husband and two children (ages 9 & 11) had the time of their lives. Take the guided tour. You WONT regret it!!!
