About Kenibuna Lake

Kenibuna Lake is a 2,150-acre natural lake in Kenai Peninsula Borough, Alaska. The water surface sits about 1,211 ft above sea level.

We have not matched Kenibuna Lake to a public level gauge, so the water level on this page comes from NASA's SWOT satellite, which measures the lake surface from orbit on each pass. Wind, gusts and rain come from the National Weather Service forecast grid that covers the water.

It is big enough for a proper sail but small enough that waves rarely get serious. Gusts off the shoreline are usually the bigger story than wave height.

The go or no-go calls above are a starting point, not a guarantee. Read how we score conditions, and always check local rules and posted warnings before you launch.
