Your Itinerary

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.

I stumbled on this opportunity through airbnb experience email and am glad we did. After busy but fun times in anchorage and seward, this was a relaxing and wonderful look into small town Alaska. Jen was great to chat with and felt like new friends by the end. Would definitely recommend you stop do this the cool little town Moose Pass.

Absolutely amazing experience. Jen is so genuine, kind, and knowledgeable about the history of Alaska and Moose Pass and it was exciting to learn about all of the stories behind the cities and people in the area. It rained and was a bit cloudy during our trip, which personally made it more enjoyable for me (if you want sunny weather, plan accordingly!). Also got to sip on some hot tea when we stopped for a break! Nothing but positive things to say! Thank you so much Jen :)

Jen and JD were super nice. We booked tour without checking the weather, by the time we got to meet them, the rain already started. They careful prepared raincoats and some hot beverages for us. The small delightful touches kept us to stay dry and warm. Jen knows the history inside out, if you want to know a few things about the river, Alaska, and things to do. You are at the right place. ☺️ I would highly recommend them for my friends.

It's definitely a very wonderful experience! Jen and JD are great, knowledgeable, friendly, and lovely! The view itself is breathtaking, and the experience itself is one of a kind! Jen and JD shared many interesting and unique stories, and we were able to see beautiful views, hiked in wild woods, and saw the salmon swimming upstream! I highly recommend them!

Kayaking on Trail Lake with Moose Pass Adventures is a must do! Jen and JD love what they do and they have a ton of knowledge about gold mining, wildlife, glaciers and Alaska in general! The scenery in the area is classic Alaska. Highly recommend!

Jen is wonderful! She has great stories, history, and local information. The tour itself was really beautiful and fun despite a little rain and wind. I recommend this trip with Jen for sure.

Absolutely exceptional! Jen did an amazing job keeping a group of scouts and engaged. Only giving 5/5 because 100/5 isn't allowed

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

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!
