Bottenintin Lake offers a serene freshwater escape on Alaska's Kenai Peninsula, located just south of Sterling Highway and 7.5 miles east of Sterling. Spanning approximately one mile in length, this tranquil retreat features soft, light-colored sand and clear waters surrounded by lush landscapes[1][2]. Named in 1963 by Kenai National Moose Range officials, the lake provides a peaceful ambiance ideal for nature enthusiasts seeking solitude or a quiet lakeside picnic[1]. Its proximity to Sterling—a hub for Kenai River fishing—makes it a convenient stop for anglers and travelers exploring the region’s outdoor offerings[5].
