We are fortunate to have 2 established hiking trails very close the campground. Maps for all hiking trails can be found in the Homer Visitor's Guide, ask for one at our front desk. DIAMOND CREEK TRAIL 4.2 MI (MODERATE) Trailhead is 2 miles from KOAPopular for birding, hiking, and running, this 4.2-mile out-and-back trail takes you through tall grass meadows and alder forests before dropping to the Cook Inlet beach. The trail's upper half is primarily switchbacks with a crushed-rock surface, with some areas of clay that can be slick if wet. The trail's last section is quite steep. Remember to check tides for the best beach viewing.
BAYCREST TRAIL/HOMESTEAD TRAIL LOOP 3.6 MI (MODERATE) Trailhead is 1/2 mile from KOARoger's Loop to Diamond Ridge Road, roughly 7 miles round trip. Trailheads can be accessed on both Roger's Loop and Diamond Ridge Road. Hike through woods and grassy fields, offering a spectacular view of fireweed hills. Can hike part of the trail, then circle back to the trailhead/parking.
