You can even plan a romantic getaway for just the two of you in many of the Soldotna Alaska Lodging.

Summer is a great time to plan a trip here especially if you want to see the wildlife out and moving around. You can take a journey back to the homesteaders time at the Solodotna Homestead Museum. You can see the real cabins they built and lived in as well as their very own school which is all original.

Walk into the museum itself and feel as if time has stopped during these homesteader years. Artifacts from the Native Alaskans and boats they used for catching fish for their families to eat can be seen. There are many photos and historical pieces from the homesteading years they used in their everyday lives at home and at work.

For cooling off during summer head down to the Stormy Lake Swim Beach where the waters refreshing, clean and near many of other places of interest. For the history buffs explore the Interpretive Site of K'Beq which was put together by the Kanaitze Indians for culture and historical purposes. Sites of archaeological finds, history and cultural items and photographs from the Dena'ina are held within the museum and you can't forget about a token of your adventure here at the gift shop.

To see one of the most historical places in Soldotna visit the Historical Society Museum where the original last school still stands of the territories, complete with all that the students used and needed in those days. An original homesteaders log village is also on the agenda to give you a feeling of what their lives must have been like when they first found their way here.

Educate yourself by learning how the Alaskan Railroad was created and see the Iditarod Trail which is the original one at the National Heritage Area KMTA. Surrounding you in this community will be lovely valleys and mountains and historical people full of stories and life. Look around carefully and you may just find previous residents ghosts who still call this home too.

To see wildlife up close and personal as well as sparkling glaciers and the beauty of many Alaskan lakes then take a drive down the 18 mile loop of Skilak Lake West Entrance. You will be able to get some great shots of the animals and the landscapes within this area of the Kanai Peninsula. For the best rainbow trout fishing look no further than the Upper Ohmer Lake Overlook area.
