A roughly 40-foot waterfall reached via the Resurrection River Trail through spruce forest and rugged glacial terrain outside Seward. The long approach makes it more challenging than most roadside Kenai Peninsula falls.
At 40 ft, it stands above roughly 33% of the 775 documented falls in this guide.
The falls are fed by Resurrection River. You'll find it in Kenai Peninsula, Alaska. It is protected within Chugach National Forest (USFS).
This is a backcountry waterfall: a remote, long, or permit-required trek for prepared visitors. Getting there takes a genuine backcountry effort, so come prepared with navigation, water, and enough daylight. The walk to the main viewpoint runs about 12.3 miles round trip. Base a visit out of Seward, the closest town.
When to go: Summer (Jun-Sep). Like most waterfalls, Resurrection Falls runs highest after snowmelt or heavy rain and can thin out in late summer, so it's worth checking recent streamflow and the land manager's conditions page before a long drive.
