Took a water taxi to the park and hiked to Glacier Lake with our 8 year olds. The trail was ever-changing and beautiful!

We LOVED. Kachemak Bay State Park! We can't suggest it highly enough. The water taxi dropped us off at Glacier Lake Trail. It was a pretty easy and flat hike to the lake. We saw one bear on the path. The lake itself was AWESOME!! The glacier is so beautiful as it seems to be between two mountains. Just be aware that some people are going to swim to the icebergs and some of them might be naked. If you want to get a great picture, bring a swimsuit and a towel with you. Or something to warm you up once you're out of the water I wish I had done this! How many times in your life can you get a picture standing on an iceberg??? On the way back, we had to take Saddle Trail back to meet our water taxi. This is a shorter hike but much has more elevation. You will see A LOT of bear poop on the trail, and will probably see several bears! Just be prepared for this! We saw two bears at various points and had to get very close to one of them. We didn't love our trip to Alaska to be honest. But if I were to go back there, I would for sure visit this again, or better yet get a cabin there.…

This is a stunningly gorgeous park with a fantastically maintained and marked trail to a chilly glacier lake.

We only had time for a day hike our first trip here, but we got almost everything we were looking for in an Alaskan outdoors experience. We got dropped off at Humpy Creek and took the Grewingk Tram Spur to end up at the preferred pickup point at Saddle Trail. Check the DNR website for trail status, as trails are maintained by volunteers and are not always passable. The Humpy Creek section got a bit spotty at points, but trail markers are prevalent enough that you can quickly find the right path. We saw many signs of large wildlife (spoor, tracks and evidence of foraging) but did not encounter any. For some this might be ideal, but we would not have minded catching a glimpse of a black bear or moose. Seeing we were there in peek summer and the foliage was so thick, it is possible that animals could have been just meters off the trail and we would not have seen them.…
