Moose season is here, and Sterling is buzzing with early mornings, muddy boots, and packed trucks heading into the wild. Whether you’re launching a boat at Bing’s Landing or glassing ridges above Skilak, Sterling is the heart of Alaska hunting season—and Cook’s Corner is your trusted stop for coffee, breakfast burritos, and trail talk.

Every summer, Sterling, Alaska becomes the perfect vantage point for one of nature’s greatest migrations — the Alaska salmon run. In 2025, an odd-numbered year, the pink salmon run will surge alongside sockeye and coho returns, filling the Kenai and Kasilof Rivers with unmatched action. Whether you’re fishing, watching, or exploring, Sterling offers a front-row seat to this once-every-two-years spectacle.

Heading to the Kasilof or Russian River? Sterling is your perfect in-between. Dip netters roll through Cook’s Corner all season long—for hot food, cold ice, and a quick break before the next cast. Two rivers, one launch point. Start here.
