State Parks along the Seward and Sterling Highways

 These areas can provide good places for lunch stops on your way to Homer.The big question is…. do they have restrooms? The answer is YES, but don't count on running water.

(If you are travelling between October and mid-April the restrooms will all be closed except Deep Creek pullout North and the Cooper Landing Boat Launch.)
