About This Access Site
The Kasilof River Boat Launch in Cohoe, Alaska provides access to the upper Kasilof River, a medium-sized glacial river on the Kenai Peninsula. The launch site is located just off Spetz Drive and offers ample parking for paddlers and boaters.

The upper Kasilof River is known for its swift, powerful currents and several Class II whitewater sections. The glacial silt and underwater hazards can make navigation challenging, so caution is advised. Paddlers and boaters should be prepared for the cold, high-volume flows of this river.

Those launching at the Kasilof River Boat Launch can access the upper river or use it as a takeout point after floating the upper sections. The lower Kasilof River is also popular for drift and bank fishing. Boaters should be aware of the strong currents throughout the river system.
