	Kasilof RV Park - Alaska Kenai RV Park
		Razor clams on the Kenai Peninsula are found on most sandy beaches between the Kasilof River to the north and the Anchor River to the south.
		Razor clams are found by the imprint left on the sand surface as the clam's neck is withdrawn.
		Clams can also be dug with a clam "gun" or "tube." The "gun" is simply a pipe or tube of about four-inch diameter with a handle and a small air vent at the closed upper end.

		Razor clams dredged in water deeper than 30 feet, although similar to the beach clam, are a different species (Siliqua sloati).
		In contrast, razor clams found in Alaska may grow to eleven inches in length and live to be 15 years old, due to colder water temperatures and slower growth rates.
		Razor clams are found primarily on the intertidal coastal beaches (those that are exposed at low tide) from a +3 foot level to a -2 foot tide level.
