Bear Lake (one of a dozen lakes by this name in Alaska) is near the town of Seward and Resurrection Bay, in the Kenai Peninsula Borough on the Kenai Peninsula in the U.S. state of Alaska. It is the site of salmon enhancement activities since 1962. This program is now managed by the Cook Inlet Aquaculture Association. [1] Current projects at Bear Lake focus on increasing sockeye and coho salmon by controlling species that are predators and competitors.
