As said, not a ton of riding areas on the Kenai Pen. I'd say no to Skilak road but that's pretty much a highway anyway. However barring this, once you get out of Los Anchorage it's pretty much game on everywhere for atvs.
You can ride to the knik glacier, trails out of Sutton, Hatchers pass, chickaloon around Eklutna lake jus to name a few within an hour or Anc.
Petersville, Denali hwy, Mc Carthy road, Eureka are a couple more.
Imo if you enjoy atving, leaving it at home on a trip to AK would be a travesty. More atving in AK than possibly anywhere else.
Couple pieces of advice, have some good mud tires, a lift if you can afford it and snorkel up the intake and all vents. Oh and bring a pair of chest waders. It's not if you'll want them, it's when!
Also spare oil and filter with you so you can make it out if you drown your rig!
I leaned the hard way also once it's Injested a couple gal of river water, DONT open the oil fill plug to see what's inside. All the oil shoots out and leaves your crankcase full of river. If you sink it you can kind of save your oil by letting it settle for a bit and then pull the drain plug. You'll dump the water first and when you strike oil put the plug back in!
Atving in AK is second to none!
