SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA
Seward is a popular destination for many kinds of outdoor activities including
sport fishing, sailing, hiking, glacier tours, wildlife tours, kayaking, flight-seeing and
summer dog sled rides. Boat tours to Kenai Fjords National Park leave from Seward
every day in the summer. If you’re fishing for halibut or salmon, you may want to
time your trip.

By road, Seward is accessed by the Seward Highway, a National Scenic Byway and
an All-American Road. The 127-mile route is peppered with hiking trails and wildlife
viewing opportunities. You can see beluga whales, eagles & sheep along Turnagain
Arm, a waterway that forms the northern boundary of the Kenai Peninsula.
Exit Glacier in Seward is the only part of Kenai Fjords National Park accessible by
road. To get to Exit Glacier, turn on to Herman Leirer Road, commonly called “Exit
Glacier Road,” at mile 3 of the Seward Highway. There is a nice viewpoint 7 miles
down the road. From there you can continue another mile and a half to the nature
center at the end of the road where you can continue by trail to get closer views of
the glacier.
