Tips:

• There are a few ways and options to do this hike. You can either set up a charter boat to Kachemak Bay and back, or arrange a tour that will handle everything from Homer and back. If doing your own thing, once you get dropped off via boat, you have a few hike options – you can do the simple trail to the lake and back, or do longer version that reach the face of the glacier or climb an alpine ridge next to the glacier.
• There are cabins in the area as well in case you prefer staying overnight and having more time to explore the beautiful Kachemak Bay area.
