Kachemak Bay State Wilderness Park in Homer, Alaska, is a dog-friendly state park with no road access. The only way to get there is by boat or aircraft from Homer. Hiking and camping are ideal along the shoreline as well as in the nearby forests and mountains. Skiers and hikers will find kilometers of glaciers and snowfields above the timberline. Pets are allowed in the backcountry if they are leashed and accompanied by their owners at all times; loose canines are allowed but must be under vocal command. Within 100 feet of a cabin, sled dogs and horses should not be tied. If you have a pet, please clean up after it.

At low tide, this flat sandy beach is ideal for walking and playing fetch with your dog.

Between Anchor Point and Homer, the Diamond Creek Trail is a 2-mile one-way dirt trail that travels down forested bluffs and tall grass meadows to an open beach where sea creatures can be spotted in their native habitat. Dogs must be on a leash. Turn left off the Sterling Highway across from Diamond Ridge Road to reach the path, which is about 4 miles north of Homer. You can park here or drive approximately 12 miles down a dirt road on the west side of the highway to the trailhead to save a mile of hiking.
