Daniels Lake covers 621 acres with 10 miles of shoreline. It's "T" shaped, the east-west leg is 2 miles long, the north-south 1.75 miles. Our 11 acres has  500' of shoreline on a cove facing north with lake view to an island in 3/4 mile. Springs 120' deep create Daniels creek. It flows in Bishop Creek then Cook Inlet 6 miles north of us in Captain Cook State Recreation Area. Salmon follow the creeks to spawn along the shoreline next to our lawn late Summer-Fall (photo below)

Daniels Lake is surrounded by private property, has no public access therefore is usually very quiet. For example, one fourth of July, we went out to test a new motor and saw about 8 mostly very small water craft on the entire acreage of lake. None were visible from our property.

​

Daniels Creek gives rainbow trout a place to spawn and there is plenty of fish food from salmon eggs, tiny stickleback fish and bugs so it has a healthy population of native rainbow trout. That makes it one of the best lakes for rainbow trout fishing - right in our front yard.  Usually, they're 15-20 inches long and weigh 1-3 lbs. If you want to see the "big one" that was 6 lbs, it's mounted and on display at a Kenai restaurant. In the summer, we use spinners and troll or, if you prefer the quiet, turn off the engine and cast. We'll text a map of the good fishing spots to you.

​

Feel free to explore the lake! We offer canoe, peddle boat or rowboat for free. To see all 10 miles of shoreline, you may also rent our 16 foot boat with trolling motor. We also offer free use of fishing rods sized for the rainbow trout. If you own good fishing reels but don't want to bring a rod, you are welcome to pack your reel to put on one of our rods for your time here.
