The Eagle Rock Boat Launch is now run by the State of Alaska Parks and Outdoor Recreation. It lays on a secluded channel of the Kenai River, which makes it an excellent boat launch. Parking is available for $5 a day per vehicle, and boat launches are $25 per boat, per launch. Please note that annual parking and boat launch decals are not accepted at this facility.

The Kenai River Special Management Area (SMA) consists of more than 105 linear miles of rivers and lakes, including Kenai Lake, Skilak Lake, and the Kenai River from river mile 82 downstream to four miles above the river's mouth on Cook Inlet. Adjacent to these waters are fifteen state park sub-units. Other Kenai River land is owned by cities, the borough and the federal government, as well as private and native lands. Please respect all property along the river.

The Kenai River boasts major runs of four Pacific salmon species: king, red, silver and pink; in addition to trophy sized rainbow trout and Dolly Varden. Kenai River kings, or Chinook salmon, are among the largest North Pacific salmon, often weighing from 50 to over 85 pounds. The abundant productivity of the Kenai River and variety of habitats enables the area to support large concentrations of bald eagles and many species of migratory waterfowl. Moose, caribou, wolves, bears and other wildlife also use the river systems resources. The area offers prime opportunities for fishing, boating, camping and wildlife observation.
