The Russian Lakes Trail actually can be started or ended at the Kenai River - Russian River Campground and combat fishing area. So many people come to the Russian to bug and bother the reds that the fish actual bite the fly out of irritation. It's crazy, elbow-to-elbow and a great place to watch people (and bears). As for us we just hiked about 8.5 miles to the parking lot, still watching for bears and their scat while avoiding plant parts in the face and swatting mosquitoes. The closer we got to the Russian Rv the more people we meet - mostly fisherman, many hiking to see bears and fish jumping the ladder at the falls and an occasional backpacker. We met a longshoreman from Va. and a group going the other way - down to Seward. We missed the rain that goodness and drove straight to the pizza parlor, even before the hot shower.
