About Kachemak Bay State Park

This is Alaska's first and largest park including400,000 acres (160,000 hectares)of park and wilderness areas. A collection of dramatic bays and steep rocky fjords in a mild maritime climate. A small annual rainfall of 30 inches and average summer temperatures in the 70's (°F) gave this lovely place the nickname "summerland" by the first Russians to arrive on her shores in the 1800s. Inhabited by wildlife on land, in the air, and in the ocean, there is so much to see and do here that one could spend a lifetime exploring around. Mountain goats grace the cliffs of remote and beautiful Sadie Cove from the entrance and up to the wilderness lodge of the same name on the south facing shore. Black bears live high in the mountains and can also be seen in the springtime on the shores of the park se
