Crooked Creek Retreat & Outfitters
From salmon-packed rivers to the halibut-rich waters of Cook Inlet, we offer everything from fly-outs to multi-species trips for chasing the ultimate challenge. This year more than 4 million sockeye returned, more than double the numbers seen in recent years and a promising sign for next season. If fishing is not your thing, there is much more to explore, you can cruise through Kenai fjords, watch bears, kayak, hike, or simply relax at the lodge. With comfortable rooms and delicious homemade meals, it is a place to experience a true taste of everything Alaska has to offer. More than a fishing adventure, Crooked Creek Retreat is a destination lodge, where everyone can experience Alaska.
The Fishing
First-Class Guided Fishing on Alaska’s Kenai Peninsula
Fish the legendary waters of the Kenai Peninsula with expert licensed and insured guides and free processing of your catch included. From the Kenai and Kasilof Rivers to the Cook Inlet, Gulf of Alaska, and remote lakes, everything is within reach from one lodge. Target sockeye, silvers, trophy rainbows, halibut, and more.
The Adventures
The Alaska You’ll Talk About for Years
Beyond the fishing, discover the wild heart of Alaska. Paddle coastal waters on a guided sea kayaking trip, cruise through Kenai Fjords and watch a glacier calve, and sip a drink chilled with glacial ice. Hike glacier trails, fly out by floatplane to watch bears in their natural habitat, or simply take in the sweeping views. Spend a day on a self-guided tour exploring Russian Orthodox churches, lighthouses, homestead cabins, and small-town museums. Along the way, watch for moose, caribou, and eagles overhead. This is adventure Alaska style.
The Lodge
Comfort, Wildlife, Abundance of Birds, and Seriously Good Food
Crooked Creek Retreat is an all-inclusive lodge set on six wooded acres in Kasilof, just minutes from Cook Inlet and close to the Kenai and Kasilof Rivers. With wraparound decks, flower-filled patios, and daily wildlife sightings, it’s the kind of place you instantly settle into. The rooms are comfortable, the setting is peaceful, and the meals are fresh and memorable. Guests can collect eggs from our chickens, including the fluffy silkies, snip greens from the garden for that night’s salad, and even smoke their own freshly caught fish. Everything you need for a true Alaska experience is right here.

Welcome to Crooked Creek Retreat & Outfitters
Hello, I’m Dorothy Baker, better known as Auntie, and I would like to personally welcome you to Crooked Creek Retreat & Outfitters. We’ve worked hard to create a place where every detail is taken care of, so your stay is easy, comfortable, and unforgettable. This year we’ve introduced new programs designed to fit every kind of traveler to Alaska. Choose a fishing adventure, a wildlife and scenery adventure, or combine both for the full Alaska experience.
A Taste of Fishing
Head out with professional guides for world-class river fishing for salmon, trout, or steelhead. Cast on a quiet lake, or venture into saltwater for halibut and multi-species trips that include rockfish, lingcod, and yelloweye. For something truly special, fly into a remote river for that classic “A River Runs Through It” experience. We can even add a little surf fishing for halibut, salmon, or whatever’s biting.
A Taste of Wildlife & Scenery
If your heart leans toward adventure and breathtaking views, let us arrange a Kenai Fjords cruise where you may see whales, sea lions, puffins, and even glaciers calving into the sea. Take a fly-out for bear viewing, canoe across Johnson Lake, or cruise Tustumena Lake, one of my favorite hidden gems. Try a side-by-side beach tour with views of volcanoes across the inlet and a campfire lunch on the shore. Add in birdwatching, hikes for every level, and the wildlife right outside the lodge, sandhill cranes, swans, moose, and the occasional bear – and you’ll see Alaska at its wildest.
Or Combine Them Both
Mix fishing and sightseeing for the best of both worlds. Whether you want a full fishing immersion, a focus on wildlife, or a perfect balance, we’ll make sure your adventure matches exactly what you’re looking for.
More Tastes of Alaska
- The Food: Hearty, homemade meals that will leave you asking for recipes.
- The Lodge: Clean, comfortable rooms where every detail has been considered.
- The Flexibility: Spend a day fishing, exploring, or simply relaxing, this is your retreat.
And don’t forget, BOOK BY NOVEMBER 1st to receive a $500 discount on your package. It’s my way of welcoming you to sample a true taste of Alaska.
Give me a call at 907-252-9612. I’d love to talk fishing, wildlife, or whatever adventure calls to you. I’ll always answer or get right back to you.
See you soon,
Dorothy “Auntie” Baker
