Kachemak bay state park
Kachemak Bay State Park was Alaska 's first state park. The park consists of roughly 400,000 acres of mountains, glaciers, forests and ocean.
The bay's rugged coastline is evidence of tectonic action in the area. Highlighted by constantly changing weather patterns, the park's outstanding scenery is a backdrop for high quality recreation. Park visitors will find opportunities for fishing, boating, kayaking, hiking, camping and mountain sports.
Kachemak Bay State Park is a critical habitat area, supporting many species of marine and terrestrial life. Some of the frequently observed wildlife includes sea otters, seals, porpoise and whales. Land mammals include moose, black bear, mountain goats, coyotes and wolves. The many species of birds that inhabit the bay, including eagles, gyrfalcons and puffins, make it a popular area for bird watching.
