VerifiedMay 27, 2025 • Stayed at: Upper Ohmer Lake Cabin, Loop: Kenai National Wildlife Refuge
Upper Ohmer Cabin was wonderful. Had a great time on the row boat and on the local hikes around d skilak. Two sharp saws and two splitters at the cabin. Picnic table with fire pit all available. Short graveled walk from the parking perfect to haul kids stuff with a wagon. Had a great stay and would go again if we can ever book it in time.

Great cabin, we've stayed there many times, and will again.
Wind was constant; couldn't use the rowboat, so had to bring everything on the trail.
