Homer Trails Alliance 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.
