Get on a boat or in a kayak to explore incredible Kachemak Bay. Visit the coves-Halibut Cove, Sadie. For a real adventure fly into the Was and go rock climbing.

If you can afford the water taxi over ($200 average with tip), you should definitely check out this park. Hikes for all levels and some beautiful views of glaciers. We went on a family hike with our 2 year old on backpack, and were able to squeeze in lunch at the Grewing Lake in under 3 hours.

We took the Mako Water Taxi over. Mako was the only taxi service running that day due to the choppy waters. The ride reallly was not that bad. We did however, have to be dropped off at the END of the normal trail, since the boat could not land on the beach where the trailhead is. Having to start our hike from this point was a bit more difficult. BUT IT WAS WORTH IT! It is a pretty remote area and this particular day, and with Mako being the only service....there were only 3 others dropped off earlier that day. We passed that group heading back to the pick up point as we headed to the Glacier. We knew we were most likely the only ones in the area for quite some distance. The calm and stillness of the beach at the Glacier was so peaceful. It was a beautiful view. We spent a bit of time there exploring the shoreline and just staring in amazement at the lake and the glacier in front of us.

We were very lucky, because we had a nice sunshine, during the complete excursion!. Very nice trip with the simpathetic guy of the water taxi, and relatively light walking trail through the longest path, and then, when we reached the Glacier lake, the views where breathtaking, depite the very cold temperatures just by the lake "beach". Please be ready, and bring strict winter clothes around the Glacier lake. The trial back to the pick up point for the water taxi, through the short path, it was not that easy (tortuous and narrow), but when we reached the rocks at the bay (pick up point), the 20 minutes waiting time, were very worth waiting, cooling down our feed in the Pacific ocean waters... Absolutely recommendable for al publics. We did not see any wildlife, but eated excellent blue berries, during the trail.

This was our fourth trip to Alaska. We've previously been to Denali and Misty Fjords each once, and the Kenai peninsula three times primarily for hiking and paddling. Our first day in the park we attempted a hike to Emerald Lake and were surprised at how awful the trail was. Even our water taxi driver kind-of snorted when we asked about the trails, and seem surprised that the visitor's center hadn't warned us that the trails had not been maintained all summer. This was confirmed by our host at a lodge in the Halibut Cove area. Apparently staff at one of the lodges has been maintaining the trail to Grewingk Glacier Lake, but beyond that point it is 4-foot high grass, mud, rocks, roots, and Devil's Club all over the place. We met another couple on the trail who had just spent over a week backpacking in the Brooks Range and were equally surprised and disappointed with this area. So overall, a beautiful spot but we won't be back, which is too bad because Homer is a nice town. We'll stick to our favorites on the Seward Highway side of the peninsula!

The only way to get there is by water taxi, and you really feel like you're away from it all when you arrive. Be sure to get a trail map; there are options for day hikes or multiday backpacking. Kayaking or paddleboarding around the many coves and bays is a great way to see seals, sea otters, and porpoises.

We traveled by Mako water taxi to the trail head where we traversed a very well maintained path about 3 miles to the Glacier lake and glacier. This trail went through boreal forest teeming with ripe blueberries/currants/watermelon berries and many birds. The glacier was stunning and calved some icebergs. Great for photography and general enjoyment. Then we finished the loop to go down the Saddle trail which was somewhat more steep but still not "hard". Got picked up by the water taxi at that end. Great hike-- scenic, interesting and do able for a few hours.Some of the other hikes in this park look way more difficult and strenuous so be prepared for those.

Thrilling bear watching trip - some were as close as 15 feet! A mama and cub walked right in to the water and gave us a show of salmon catching action from the Mama! The walk is thru some rough terrain, shallow water and it rained the whole 3 hours so make sure you take water proof and layered clothing.

Although it is expensive to reach the Glacier Lake trail, the hike is awesome. It's an easy 3-4 mile hike that just about anyone can do. My husband and I are 63 and we had no problems. The view from the lake is like a glimpse of the real Glacier Bay. Very special place that I won't forget. Sun was shinning!

Glacier Lake Trail was great for a day in the park; saw moose on the trail. Even despite the ridiculous cost of the water taxi ($75 EACH!), it was one of our most memorable hikes.

Mako water taxi took us across the bay[$75pp]. They are great. Told us where the trail was when they dropped us off at the beach and the time and place they would pick us up. All worked perfectly. We had an easy 4 mile hike to Grewingk Glacier lake, 4 couples all mid sixties, We packed in a lunch and some wine and had an hour by ourselves looking at a beautiful glacier.Yes, even a calving. We paid a lot of money to see Mears and Aialik Glaciers and this free one was every bit as nice, and no people.2 mile hike down saddel trail to boat pickup spot was a little up and down but not bad at all. Total hike 5-6 easy miles. On the way to lake we took and hour detour[round trip] to tram that crosses creek which also was fun.All in all it was one great easy relaxing day.

We went to Kachemak Bay State Park 2 days ago. This was one of the most awesome experiences we had. The view of Glacier Lake after a moderate hike left us without words. What made it so easy was the water taxi company we used to take us there. They were extremely knowledgeable and we highly recommend them. Their website is: Www.redmountainmarine.com 907/399-8230They are a small outfit but have been in business many years.____________________________________________________________

You need a boat or a water taxi (Mako is our favorite) – but once you get across the bay a multitude of options for fun open up. If you just want a quick day hike consider the Grewingk glacier trail. You can do this as a loop from Hollywood beach to Glacier Spit (the best! – but there can be lots of bears in the area in salmon season). Another great option is starting at the ranger station in Halibut Cove and hiking to Leisure Lake. And there are so many more options - Taz Tally has a book called “50 hikes in Alaska’s Kenai Peninsula” and it is a great resource for planning. The bay is also kayak heaven with all sort of places to explore. It is much better if you have a few days to explore -- then consider renting one of the State Parks Cabins – – http://dnr.alaska.gov/parks/cabins/kenai.htm. It is quite difficult because they have "been discovered", but well worth the effort. Our favorites include the Sea Star cabin in Tutka Bay and the Leisure Lake cabin. There are also several options for renting yurts – there is a really nice one at Rustie’s Lagoon and that location is also wonderful for tent campers. There are also some B&B's and Lodges -- some can be at the high end price wise but they offer the luxury of pampered wildernes.Another resource is the Center for Alaska Coastal Studies…http://www.akcoastalstudies.org/. They offer day and overnight trips to their place in Peterson Cove. They are focused on education and specialize in “beach walks” with a naturalist. This is highly recommended, especially if you have children. They will take you for a rubber boot “muck walk” and turn over rocks and find the things you never knew existed. They have 4 yurts for overnight and also partner with a local guide for “combo” kayak trips. When you consider the cost of a water taxi their trips are a real bargain – not to mention great fun! The ONLY caveat I have is that there is a lot of private land along the shoreline and we have been “chased off” beaches we thought were in the State Park…but if you stick to the trails and well-marked areas you are fine. Bottom line…just get over there and explore!
