Kick off the 2026 Kachemak Bay CoastWalk by Joining us at Bishops Beach. Clean the beach, adopt a zone, grab some food, and play some games!

Every year CoastWalk volunteers remove thousands of pounds of debris from the beaches of Kachemak Bay. Volunteers can take part by signing up for organized community cleanups, or adopting a Zone of Kachemak Bay to clean and document this fall. Sign up, and be part of this Homer tradition over 40 years running. It all gets going Saturday, September 5th at CoastWalk Kickoff!

Hike through tunnels of alder trees and meadows of summer blooms while enjoying sweeping views of the Kenai mountains across Kachemak Bay. Guided by our expert naturalists, you will learn about the flora and fauna of this place. Keep an eye out for the wildlife that call this area home, including moose, black bears, lynx, coyote, sandhill cranes, and much more! Learn about ongoing monitoring and preservation efforts being carried out on the ridge.
This is a family-friendly, mild hike. The route is about 1.5 miles of maintained trail with mild elevation gain.

Hike through meadows of fireweed, dense spruce forest, and rolling wetlands at the headwaters of Fritz Creek. Guided by our expert naturalists, you will learn about local flora and fauna as well as the importance of wetlands to this environment. Keep an eye out for moose grazing on willow or black bears digging for roots. Learn about how we are working to protect this critical environment through ongoing monitoring and research.
This is a moderate hike on maintained trails with moderate elevation change.
