NOW OPEN FOR
PURUC USE
Recreational use or me Kenai

encouraged by construction of
access roads and public camp
grounds, according to an an
nouncement this week by the
Juneau office, Fish and Wildlife

Cooperative moves by two In

beautiful Skilak Lake, heretofore
accessible only by plane. Park
ing areas for automobiles have
been constructed at the end of
each road and sites have been
hacked out of the wilderness for
convenience of overnight camp
ers. Gravel surfacing was vir
tually completed this fall and rus
tic camp ground facilities are be
ing installed as rapidly as funds
permit.

orite fishing spot since the orig
inal trail was completed, offering
winter fishing through the ice as
well as summertime enjoyment.
Skilak Lake, second largest in the
moose range, offers fishing, hunt
ing, and boating, in addition to
unexcelled scenery.
Unlike old style “sanctuary”
areas, hunting and fishing is per
mitted throughout the Kenai
moose range. Game in the area in
addition to moose includes brown,
grizzly, and black bears, plus a
variety of small game. Mountain
sheep are found in the higher
ranges which will be opened to
hunting when the sheep popula
tion will v/arrant it.

ance from FWS. Camp facilities

tained by FWS and Bureau of
Land Management’s Forestry Di
vision.
