Reviewers frequently mention hiking experiences, with multiple positive reviews highlighting trails such as the Glacier View Trail, Saddle Trail, and Grace Ridge Trail. One reviewer described the park as a top experience in the Homer area, noting the stunning Grewingk Glacier lake with floating icebergs and a memorable hike with berries and wildflowers, while also warning to beware of bears. Another review describes the park as 400,000 acres of beautiful Alaska, accessible via a 15-minute water taxi from the Homer Spit, with the hike to Grewingk Glacier lake recommended as a nice day hike. A 5-star review praises the Grace Ridge Trail as one of the best hikes in Alaska, noting it is a 10-mile, 3,500-foot elevation point-to-point hike requiring drop-off and pickup, with many water taxis available at about $100 per person and a 5-6 hour duration. Another reviewer calls the Grace Ridge through hike, approximately 10 miles and 3,400 feet of vertical gain, majorly worth it if the weather is clear. A positive review mentions a great experience on a sunny day, loving the glacier lake trail and exploring the glacier spit at low tide. One review describes the park as Alaska's first state park and its only designated wilderness park, spanning approximately 400,000 acres. Another review notes a great trip with Outfit Alaska on their boat, calling the park beautiful. A 5-star review mentions an amazing time with outstanding water and weather, and enjoyable fishing. However, one 2-star review states that while the park is beautiful and incredible to hike in, this only applies if staying on the 2-3 well-maintained trails, such as the Saddle Trail to Grewingk Glacier and the Halibut Cove Lagoon Trails, which are well maintained but clearly curated for a specific purpose.
Top experience if in the Homer area. We did the glacier view trail to teach the Grewingk glacier lake and returned to teh shore via the saddle trail. The lake is stunning with floating icebegs. The saddle trail was particularly beautiful with berries and wildflowers all around. It was a hike to remember. Beware of Bears in the area!
