Ninilchik AK






186 miles south of Anchorage: This is a fishing community that lives up to its Russian name, "peaceful settlement by a river".
The old Russion Orthodox Church, built in 1900, and the historic cemetery overlook the entire rustic village, and share the sunset skyline with Mount Redoubt and Mount Iliamna which are situated across Cook Inlet.

Beaches, rivers and boat launches provide access to Cook Inlet for world-class salmon and halibut fishing.

Ninilchik lies on the east coast of the Cook Inlet.
We arrived at Alaskan Angler RV Resort at the beginning of July and will be staying here till the beginning of September. At this point we are awed by the beauty of our surroundings.

In Ninilckik, AK that is where my Grandpa lives and the picture of the church is where my grandma is buried. Agatha M. Johnson. Ninilckik has changed over the past 4 years and it's gotten bigger as well. The Picture of the boats, in the back is the road leading to the Ninilckik Beach where my relatives commercial fish(I believe that's what they do but privately I think). It's a beautiful and peaceful place to visit. Especially around July. Not to cold and not too hot.
