State Park Cabins There are five State Park public-use cabins located across the bay from Homer, four in the Halibut Cove Lagoon area and one over in Tutka Bay. The cabins must be booked directly with State Parks, but Bay Excursions can provide reliable water taxi service to them. These cabins are very popular with local residents so it is best to make reservations well in advance. For reservations and more information about the State Park cabins call Anchorage (907) 269-8400, Soldotna (907) 262-5581, Homer (907) 235-7024 or see the Alaska State Parks website for more information and cabin availability. Contact Karl with Bay Excursions to book transportation to the State Park cabins or for information on other private cabins available for rent in Kachemak Bay call (907) 235-7525 or e-mail bay@xyz.net |
