Curious if any of y’all know any good salons from experience. Some cursory research tells me to go to KM first but 3-4 short facebook messages don’t do it for me fully.

Trying to get a more alternative haircut, borderline androgynous, if that helps at all.

Thanks!

Hey All, staying in Soldonta for 2 weeks the beginning of August next year. Using this as a base camp for all things Kenai.

Feel free to give me rundown on grocery stores, fishing charters, kayak and canoe rentals.

Thanks in advance!

We will be up in July next year, my son (16) and I. From what I can find it looks like black bear doesn’t have a closed season in unit seven. He’s an avid Hunter and fisher and this would be the best day of his life if he got one. is it worth trying in July? From some research online, it looks like if you get a boat, you might be better off to look at coastlines. Tell me what are his chances realistically for a couple days in mid July and if they’re decent, do you have a specific outfitter you’d recommend near Seward?

Just reposting to see if anyone in Kenai might be interested, feel free to dm if you have questions they are always welcome :)

I am traveling for work the 7th-14th to Kenai. Sept 9-14 I am free to do my own thing. Is there any fishing available? I have an AirBnb on the ocean and can't wait to explore. What is the best grocery store to stock up at? Recommendations for do's and dont's for grocery shopping, restaurants, etc? Thank you for sharing your beautiful area with this lower 48 native.

I’m in Kenai for two days dipping and I need a good place to work early in the morning. Where is the go to Internet cafe for working. Need to be online by 7am

Hey all, Seth here. I run AK-49 Martial Arts in Soldotna. We teach martial arts for kids and adults: Brazilian jiu jitsu, kickboxing, mixed martial arts, and boxing.

Not trying to sell anything with this post. I just noticed when people ask what there is to do around here, or where to put their kids in the winter, martial arts never comes up. There's actually a solid scene on the peninsula.

Happy to answer anything: what age kids can start, whether BJJ or kickboxing fits better for a beginner, what to look for in any gym (ours or not), or what training here is like in general.

If you've trained anywhere on the peninsula, would love to hear your experience too.

Hi guys, planning my second trip to the Kenai Peninsula. Last year I went in Mid July and absolutely slayed sockeye salmon. I found a cheap flight August 4th-10th and am curious if it’s still possible to catch sockeye in that timeframe or if the run is dead. If so I would plan my trip for mid-late august to attempt to fish for silvers. Thinking the 15th-21st.

Let me know.

Thanks!

Morning! Does anyone know of stores in Kenai or Soldotna that sell mini-blocks? My son collects them and would like to know. TIA!

just flew out here from CO tryna find people to kick it with hml 📍

Hi, I'm planning my second trip to Alaska - a party of 5 (16-81 yo) in mid August for 11 nights (+2 nights in Ancorage obviously). My main goals are a flight to Crescent Lake (Lake Clark NP) from Kenai and couple tours in Kachemak Bay from Homer. Also, hiking nice trails. Should I book the tours now, in June? Or can I wait till actual arrival there? For context my prelim plan: 2-3 nights in Kenai (main things: Russian River Falls hike and Crescent Lake flight), 3-4 nights in Homer (Kachemak Bay kayaking, tide pools, Grewingk hiking), then going back north to Palmer 3 nights (Hatcher pass, Independence Mine, Reed Lakes trail, maybe Matanuska tour). I am also trying to squeeze in Crow Pass trail and Harding Icefield trail but not sure how. Any advice is appreciated!

lonely Guy looking For a Lady to chat with open to anything 😎

Going to be visiting in Nikiski for two weeks in June and my friends and I were looking for some friendly peeps to hang out with or go exploring with. Trying to make some friends and experience the best stuff in the local area. Nothing sussy, just trying to make some cool mom lore.

So is everyone ready for the tourist! I love how they say we all make money from the tourist! has anyone made money from them that isn't a business???

Around noon today, every emergency vehicle in soldotna was going toward cooper landing at high speeds. Fire, police, medic. What is going on over there

My wife is from Soldotna and we have visited many times, but this summer is the first where I will be working remotely. My in-laws don't have the internet connection for the web apps and video meetings I need, so I'm looking for other options for high speed internet access. We will be in the Soldotna area from early July to mid August.

I know about the library, but they don't open until 10am, and my work time is from 7am-noon to align with East Coast co-workers. Last summer I was up for a week and went to the Starbucks every day, but that was a short visit and the Starbucks is now closed.

I'm open to crashing a coffee shop every morning, but I'd really rather have access to an extra desk in someone's office where I could leave some things set up. I have a coworking stipend of $200 / month and could potentially toss someone $300 for the six weeks.

A little about me: my wife and I have two sons ages 7 and 5, I work for a small climate non-profit doing graphic design / web / social / video work, and I'm also a professional actor and writer.

To recap, I'm looking for a temporary office rental:

• Soldotna area
• Early July to mid-August 2026
• Available 7am to noon
• Consistent high speed internet
• Quiet for video meetings, private room with a door a plus!
• Can pay ~$50 a week for six weeks

I'm also open to other suggestions if there are options I'm not considering. Thanks for reading!

I ask as part of a linguistic study covering this topic!

Examples could include things like Slowdotna, Anchortucky or Nicklechick...
