Kenai Lake
For five miles or so the Seward Highway cruises along the easternmost shoreline of blue-
green Kenai Lake. Its unusual color is produced by rock particles suspended in the gla-
cial meltwater that feeds the lake. Ground by glaciers into a fine powder, the particles re-
flect blue-green from the spectrum of sunlight, lending a turquoise cast to the snowy peaks
mirrored in the water. At the lake's south end, a lovely trail leads from Primrose Camp-
ground to Lost Lake.
