NPS Photo / K. Thoresen When is the Park Open?The park is open year-round. The primary months to visit are June, July, and August. There are reduced services in the area during the months of May and September. The road to the Exit Glacier area, the only road into the park, is not plowed during the winter months and is closed to automobiles. This means the park is inaccessible by car when the road is covered in snow, typically from sometime in October to May depending on the year. Check Current Conditions to see the most updated road status. The park's coastal backcountry is also inaccessible late fall through early spring due to rough seas. Visitor CentersThe Kenai Fjords National Park Visitor Center and Exit Glacier Nature Center are open from Memorial Day weekend (last weekend of May) through Labor Day (first Monday of September) unless otherwise noted.
