Halibut Cove is located inside the Kachemak Bay State Park and Wilderness Park, which covers 400,000 acres of mountains, glaciers, and forests. Around the edges of the Halibut Cove Lagoon there is a Ranger Station and several park campgrounds. There is a three-room public use at the southern end of the cove. The Alaska Department of Natural Resources rents out this cabin nightly. To inquire, call (907) 262-5581 or (907) 235-7024.

One of the best ways to explore the park is by way of the many hiking trails that have trailheads along the cove.

China Poot Lake Trail
2 Miles Long - Starts near the Ranger Station and passes three lakes beneath China Poot Peak.

Lagoon Trail
About 5.5 Miles Long - Also starts near the Ranger Station has a greater degree of difficulty.
