LOCATION: Along the Seward Highway on the Kenai Peninsula, at Mile 24.5 of the Alaska Railroad, 22 miles north of Seward in the Chugach Mountains.

DESCRIPTION: Primarily an extended roadside area rather than a clearly defined community, consisting of about 40 homes near Kenai Lake, a fifth of them used only seasonally. Transportation services, timber and retail businesses provide most of the employment.

HISTORY: U.S. Geological Survey agents reported a railroad station called Trail Lake Station at this site in 1912.
