Kachemak Heritage Land Trust maintains the Homestead Trail during the summer months. The route winds through the hills from the trailhead at the lodge to the southern trailhead of the Baycrest Trail System. During late spring and early summer, the upper meadows of the Homestead Trail System serve as temporary feeding grounds for Sand Hill Cranes on their annual journey north to their breeding grounds. Later in the summer, these hills turn to bright pink as the fireweed blossoms mature. The trail winds through these meadows of head high fireweed and other wild flowers to the lower muskegs and moose habitat of the headwaters of Diamond Creek.
