humpy creek

"K" and "the Mr." take a day out of their usual routine to guide clients on the "other side of the Bay". This is "K"'s favorite place to fish on the Peninsula, away from this more tourist populated side of the bay. They love to be surrounded by wilderness, take in the awesome scenery, plentiful fish, and unknown adventure awaiting them. "Humpy Creek" is a short water-taxi trip across open Kachemak Bay. Once there, they hike from the mouth of the creek to a special fishing hole, which is about a half-a-mile up stream.

Everyone had a wonderful time, and thankfully there were no lions, tigers, or bear experiences to report, (bear scat spotted, however.)


"The Mr." signs in at the park trailhead.

Here fishy, fishy....

Kachemak Bay State Park and State Wilderness Park
Alaska’s first state park, and only wilderness park, contains roughly 400,000 acres of mountains, glaciers, forests and ocean. The bay’s twisted rock formations are evidence of the movement of the earth’s crust. 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 is a critical habitat area, supporting many species of marine life. Visitors frequently observe sea otters, seals, porpoise and whales. Intertidal zones offer natural settings for marine studies. 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.
Hiking and camping along the shoreline and in the surrounding forests and mountains are excellent. Above timberline, skiers and hikers will find glaciers and snowfields stretching for miles. Special park attractions include Grewingk Glacier, Poot Peak, China Poot Bay, Halibut Cove Lagoon, Humpy Creek, and China Poot (Leisure) Lake.
Access to the ParkAccess to the park is by boat or airplane, as there are no roads to the park. Air charters, water taxi services, and boat rentals are available in Homer.
