Lonely Planet review for Glacier Lake Hiking Trail
The most popular hike in Kachemak Bay State Park is this 3½-mile, one-way trail that begins at the Glacier Spit trailhead, near the small Rusty Lagoon Campground. The level, easy-to-follow trek proceeds across the glacial outwash and ends at a lake with superb views of Grewingk Glacier. Camping on the lake is spectacular, and often the shoreline is littered with icebergs. At Mile 1.4 you can connect to the 6½-mile Grewingk Glacier Trail, with a hand-tram and access to the face of the glacier.
If you don't have time for the entire hike, there are excellent views less than a mile from the tram.
