Calvin & Coyle

Located within the Homer city limits, Calvin and Coyle Woodland Park provides an important buffer between residential development along East End Road and the State-designated Homer Airport Critical Habitat Area including the Beluga wetlands complex. Situated on property owned by KHLT, the park is a designated birding hot-spot, provides habitat for numerous species of mammals, and features a seasonally maintained nature trail for non-motorized use.

The trailhead is at the end of Mariner Drive, just a mile east of downtown Homer, with a small parking lot and an information kiosk. The 1.5-mile round-trip trail winds through spruce forest and meadows, with an observation platform at the far end overlooking the Beluga wetlands. Interpretive signs along the trail offer insights about the natural surroundings.

(Note: This is a foot trail only, unsuited to wheelchairs or strollers. Mariner Drive is a dead end street with little room to turn-around a RVs.)
