AROUND COHOE

The Kenai is vast with never ending possibilities! Take in some wildlife on a cruise, fish, hike, ride on horseback, laundry, or learn some local history!

FISHING AND DIP NETTING

The lodge is close to many of the desirable fishing and dip netting areas such as Cohoe Beach (3.5 miles), Johnson Lake State Recreation Area (3.7 miles), Crooked Creek State Recreation Site (1.6 miles), and Kasilof River State Recreation Site (4.1 miles).

The world renowned Homer (63 miles), Seward (111 miles), Deep Creek (40 miles), and Anchor Point (47 miles) are a little further out but often worth the drive for Halibut, Salmon, Lingcod and Dolly Varden.

You can catch some fishing excursions out of most of the major fishing locations, where seasoned professionals can show you the best spots and teach you the way of the water.

Fishing takes place year round on the Kenai however, the time of year will often weigh heavily on the fish condition, for top of the line fish we recommend using this chart!

CHECK OUT SOME MUSEUMS

Our lodge is only 5.2 miles from the Kasilof Regional Historical Museum, they're volunteer run, non-profit. There you can get a free guided or non-guided tour of historic cabins, learn about old farming, fishing, and hunting practices. This museum is great at connecting people to historic personnel whose stories can be read and expanded upon throughout the tour. They also harbor fascinating artifacts of early settlers.

HORSEBACK RIDING

VIEW THE WILDLIFE

You may see porcupines, bears, moose, birds, bunnies, etc. from our property. However, if you want to see more wildlife we recommend the many wildlife locations near us. The most popular is Crooked Creek State Recreation Site (1.6 miles) or Cohoe Beach (3.5 miles), alongside Kasilof River Recreation Area (4.1 miles), and US Wildlife Refuge (17 miles). Another great, however, strange place to catch a glance of some wildlife is actually the Soldotna landfill (15 miles), hundreds of golden and bald eagles hang out there everyday!

If you decide to seek out animals please use the necessary precautions, they may be cute but they are still very wild!

LAUNDROMAT

The Wash & Dry Laundromat is located in Soldotna, only 18 miles away. Kenai Wash & Dry is 24 miles, both are reasonable priced, have showers, staff is friendly, clean and tidy.
