Trails

Calvin & Coyle Woodland Park and Nature Trail

Contribute to the Calvin & Coyle Trail Fund
The Calvin & Coyle Nature Trail is an important greenspace of forests and meadows that is home to a variety of wildlife. The property is located near downtown Homer at the end of Mariner Dr.

This almost 30-acre property has a 1.5-mile loop trail which includes a viewing platform overlooking Beluga wetlands. This wonderful walking trail offers visitors the opportunity to see a variety of birds and other wildlife.

Please note that the Calvin & Coyle Nature Trail is situated within a neighborhood which means street parking is not permitted and the parking lot is very small. We encourage trail users to carpool if possible. Mariner Dr is a dead end and no vehicles over 20 feet are permitted which includes RVs, buses, and trailers. During the summer break, parking is available at Paul Banks Elementary and the trail can be accessed via their connector trail (see map for details).

Effler Boardwalk

Contribute to the Effler Trail Fund
The Gene and Mim Effler property is located in Homer’s Bridge Creek Watershed Protection District—the source of Homer’s drinking water.

The 18-acre property has a short, raised boardwalk trail and viewing platform. The Efflers were among the first homesteaders in the area, and Gene had a longtime dream of creating a trail for the Homer community on a portion of their original homestead.

Poopdeck Platt Community Park Trail

Contribute to the Poopdeck Platt Trail Fund
Poopdeck Platt Community Park Trail is a beautiful and wild oasis
in the middle of town. This trail is designed to offer people of all
ages and abilities a peaceful refuge and a place to connect with
nature. It is an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessible trail across KHLT's almost 3.5-acre Poopdeck property. 

The full length of this accessible trail is .29 miles one way. The trails are at minimum 4’ wide with a 2-5% grade. The trail features interpretive signage, a viewing platform, and ADA parking.

KHLT has been working with the City of Homer, the Homer Independent Living Center, and Alaska State Parks, and worked with the National Park Service’s Recreational Trails program and US Fish and Wildlife Services to increase accesibilty. Stay tuned as this wonderful community project continues to develop accessibility features.
