KRISTIAN IREY PHOTOGRAPHY Make sure you carve out time to go hiking! The Homer area has amazing trails, but we recommend taking a water taxi around the bay to be truly surrounded by wild Alaska. See more on Homer and Kachemak Bay Area Trails on p. 40. Kachemak Bay State Park & State Wilderness Park is the crown jewel of Homer with unparalleled scenic backdrops that you don’t want to miss. Only accessible by boat, plane, or helicopter, Kachemak Bay State Park is best explored on foot. With 400,000 acres of mountains, glaciers, forests, and ocean, Kachemak Bay State Park has a wonderful variety of hiking trails. Among the most popular are Glacier Lake, Grace Ridge, Alpine Ridge, China Poot Lake, and Coalition Loop. Whether you like to explore on your own or hire a local guide or naturalist, you have your choice of many hiking trails. Contact one of the local eco-tour outfits or water taxis.
