Overview: Kalgin Island is situated 30 km off the coast of Kenai, Alaska, a world-class salmon fishing destination. Accessible by plane or boat, a 20-minute flight lands you right on the beach in front of the island's lodge, transporting you to a world away from civilization. This 30,000-acre island, first used as a fox farm in 1920 and by salmon fishers in the 50s, now hosts a dozen summer cabins used during the fishing season. With 90% of the island owned by the state of Alaska and not for sale, Kalgin Island offers an unparalleled retreat in a critical wildlife habitat area.
