The
park is located across the Bay from the town of Homer and is accessible
by boat or floatplane. This gem of Alaska's state park system offers well-marked
trail systems and camping opportunities, as well as a number of public
use cabins. Our experienced office staff can orient you to the park and
help you plan your visit there, whether you are interested in a day hike,
family camping or multi-day backpack camping and hiking trips. The southeastern
section of the park is well suited for kayak-camping excursions.
See the Rates Page for cost of round trip water taxi transportation. Below are some suggested hikes:
GLACIER
LAKE HIKE
An easy day hike well suited for various ages and abilities. Start your
adventure at Rusty's Lagoon with its tide pools. The trail begins with
a walk through woods opening up to glacial moraine offering a wonderful
vista of mountain and ice. Follow the well-maintained trail to the lake
where Grewingk Glacier calves icebergs. A short back track connects you
to Saddle Trail. Once there, you're just one mile to your pickup point
in a secluded, protected all weather cove. A leisurely three hours, or
pack a lunch and make a day of it. You can also choose to camp overnight
at Rusty's Lagoon, or backpack in and camp on the beach at Glacier Lake.
THE
LAND OF WOZ
Explore one of the park's newest trail systems. The Wosnesenski River
Trail extends into the park for seven miles connecting with the China
Poot Lake Trail, a beautiful hike along the banks of a glacial river.
With excellent camping along the beach or in the backcountry around
Halibut Cove Lagoon, it can be the starting point for a multi day back
packing adventure or a vigorous day hike in and out.
