If you’re in the wonderful town of Homer on Kachemak Bay, there’s a charming little boardwalk trail in Alaska to hike that’s easy enough for the whole family to enjoy. This is a short walk with just enough scenery to keep it interesting, but not too hard that the littles ones in your group will find it difficult. Pick a beautiful morning and head out on this trail!
Out in Homer at the Carl E. Wynn Nature Center is an easy boardwalk trail in Alaska.
It takes you through the popular foliage of the area, and keeps you up above the trail on a beautiful boardwalk. This is a great hike to take no matter the weather, because the boardwalk will keep you out of the mud.
The trail is flat and has only 32 feet of elevation gain across the entire hike. There are a couple of roots to step over, but other than that it should be smooth sailing for everyone.
Keep your eyes peeled for the local Alaskan birds you can spot. If you’d like a guide, they offer a guided walk at 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. from mid-June through Labor Day.
