All of the cabins in this area are in the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge except for China Poot Lake. There are several cabins in this area on great lakes which are off limits to aircraft. I had trouble reading the Alaska Supplement and the Refuge rules which in many cases seemed to be in conflict. During the summer of 2011 I called the Kenai Refuge office and the cabins I have in the website are the ones they agreed were legal. Because of changing rules I might give them a call before heading out to a cabin. The cabins in this section are completely different than the ones in the east. Most of these cabins are in flat lands and for the most part marsh lands. Several of these cabins are in cabins which have been restored. Some of them look a little rundown from the outside, but all are highly usable and interesting. Kenai is the best town for resupply; they have a good float pond and the lowest price fuel I have seen in Alaska. If you are going on to Kodiak the best place is to wait in Homer for weather. There is no easy way to get fuel in Homer so make sure you land with there with enough fuel to get to you next stop. If you are staying in the Kenai area an are not going out to a cabin see Daniels Lake Lodge
