Gray Day Adventures take place here, just across Kachemak Bay from Homer. Alaska's first state park, these 375,000 acres of forests, mountains, glaciers, and ocean are highlighted by constantly changing weather patterns. Kachemak Bay State Park is a critical habitat area, supporting many species of marine life. Sea otters, seals, whales and porpoise are frequently seen in the surrounding waters and among the bay's twisted rock formations.
Many mammals inhabit the park, including black bear, moose, wolves, mountain goats, and coyotes.
Many species of birds also live in the park. Eagles, puffins and gyrfalcons, among many others, make this state park a popular area for bird watchers. The tides which occur in Kachemak Bay are the second largest in the world. The average vertical difference between high and low tides is approximately 15 feet. Sometimes the difference can swing as much as 28 feet in a cycle.
