Great views. Wildflowers. The signage is poor-- they don't tell you that the perimeter trails are not maintained in the summer --- so we "got lost"-- this is close to the city so you really can't be lost but we went for quite a while on a trail that got bushier and more scrubby before going back. The trail maps make it look like it would be accessible but clearly not.
By accident, we drove to this place and had a wonderful scenic one hour hike. I saw some of the most amazing wildflowers ever and some interesting glacier formations, across the Kachemak Bay, that were different to the glaciers you see from the Homer Spit. On a clear day, the view of the Homer Spit coming back is also fantastic.Eveline State Recreation Area is about a 20-minute drive east (on East Coast Road, a very scenic drive) away from the Homer Business District. If you have a car in Homer, drive to this Recreation Area for an easy to medium hike and excellent views. If you have a state park pass, you can use it here, otherwise a $5 day pass works.
