Hike through the dense mountain forest of Kachemak Bay State Park to a pristine, ice-blue glacial lake. The adventure begins from the Odyssey Lodge beach, as one of our experienced captains and personable guides escort you on a 20-minute boat ride to explore this remote park. Immerse yourself in the wilderness as you hike upward, but steadily, through cottonwoods and Sitka spruce. Then emerge through the tree line to the beach of a pristine lake with beautiful views of Grewingk Glacier, and the unique opportunity to see the glacier calve and deposit icebergs in the water. Sit down for lunch, walk the shore, give your feet an ice bath, or just sit and listen as the glacier grackles.
This hike has several routes over various trails, as well as multiple access points. So, test your strength and take a ride on a hand tram over the glacial river. Find your favorite picture-perfect backdrop in this captivating landscape for posting on the gram. The choice is yours. This relatively easy hike is a great way to experience one of Alaska’s majesties before it’s gone.
