What to Do and See in Seldovia

The city of Seldovia traces its roots to a late 1700s Russian fur trading post that became a town known as “Seldevoy,” meaning Herring Bay. The current city only has a population of around 250 people and is known for its proximity to Kachemak Bay State Park and Kenai Fjords National Park.
