#10: Kenai Peninsula Berry Picking or Mushrooming
Here’s an activity you can enjoy absolutely free! With a variety of wild berries and mushrooms available throughout the mid to late summer season, and well into the fall, the Kenai Peninsula is the perfect place to enjoy foraging in the forest. (As bears do enjoy berries as well, a core part of their late summer diet, we advise that you go well armed with a slug loaded shotgun, .44 caliber or greater pistol with bear loads, or pepper spray to protect yourself and ensure you see no bears!)
Blueberry picking is a great family adventure in the rain forests of the Kenai Peninsula.
Alaska Blueberries are plentiful in August & September
Other Delicious berries include Nagoon Berries, Wild Strawberries, Raspberries, Salmon Berries and more!
Taylor enjoys eating them as fast as picking them of course!
In years of good rain, Morels and other tasty fungi can be found nearby.
Proper identification is vitally important, so do your research before frolicking in the forest!
