Located
on the Kenai Peninsula at the junction of the Anchor River and its north
fork, Anchor Point is situated just 14 miles northwest of Homer on the
Sterling Highway. In the summer of 1787 Captain James Cook and
crews of the Resolution and Discovery sailed into the Inlet looking for
a Northwest Passage, and gave Anchor Point its name after losing a kedge
anchor to the awesome tidal currents. This is a great place for independent salmon river fishing, and has a river front state camp ground.
