A wide variety of outdoor activities are enjoyed year round by both local residents and visitors.  Within a 10 minute drive you can be:  anywhere in the city, down on the beach watching sea lions, fishing for salmon, watching for whales, driving half way up Pillar Mountain, and the list goes on and on.  If you get out away from town the possibilities are endless and you can be flying out in a float plane to watch bears eating salmon one day and catching salmon until your shoulders are tired the next day. 

Topping the list of things to do are wildlife viewing, sight seeing, hunting, fishing, hiking and camping. Adult and youth sporting activities include volleyball, basketball, baseball, softball, football and golf. 

Kodiak has a ten lane bowling alley, a 300 seat movie theater and a teen center with two racquetball courts. There are figure toning salons and a fitness center. Also, the community residents have access to the high school swimming pool and school gymnasiums for recreational activities.

There are numerous indoor activities to keep a person busy.  The museums are top notch, and Kodiak has a very interesting history.  The arts are also well represented.  Between the various non profit organizations there is an event to attend almost every week.
