Daniels Lake is about two miles long each way. There is no public access so the lake stays very nice & is quiet most of the time. There are places where it's around 100 feet deep. It is spring fed & creates Daniels Creek, which empties into Bishop Creek, which flows into Cook Inlet near the entrance to Captain Cook State Recreation Area, about 6 miles north. The red (sockeye) salmon follow the creeks to the shoreline to spawn in late summer. This is such a healthy lake that there is a wonderful population of native rainbow trout.

Kenai is on the Cook Inlet at the mouth of the Kenai River, 156 miles south of Anchorage and 90 miles north of Homer.
Kenai is the transportation hub of the Kenai Peninsula home to the peninsula's biggest and busiest airport. Dubbed the "oil capital of Alaska", Kenai's economy was traditionally based on the oil and gas industry and commercial fishing. Over the past few years, tourism is playing a more important role.
The city boasts magnificent views of Cook Inlet and Mt. Redoubt, Mt. Spur and Mt. Iliamna. One of Kenai's best-kept secrets is its public beach. Within a short drive from Kenai, lies Captain Cook State Park, the Swanson River canoe system and the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge. You can reach Kenai from Soldotna by taking the 11-mile Spur Highway at Mile 95 of the Sterling Highway.
