The Kenai National Wildlife Refuge opened the Mystery Creek Access Road and a portion of the Alaska Pipeline Company’s right-of-way corridor. This was done 11:59 p.m. Wednesday, August 10.
The location of the intersection of the Mystery Creek Access Road and the Sterling Highway has changed from previous years. The new entrance is at Milepost 63, approximately one-half mile east of the former entrance.
The Kenai National Wildlife Refuge is reminding users that the road and pipeline corridor may be closed at any time to prevent surface damage should weather and road conditions dictate, or in the case of fire in the area. Road and pipeline corridor conditions require the use of four-wheel drive vehicles, and users may encounter muddy conditions and areas of deep standing water, so travel on the road and pipeline corridor at your own risk.
Users are also reminded to limit vehicle travel to the established road/right-of-way. All-terrain vehicles are not authorized on Mystery Creek Road or any area of the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge. Motorized access is prohibited beyond the eastern bank of the east fork of the Moose River.
