TRAILS

Diamond Creek State Recreation Area (0.6 mi/1 km)

The Diamond Creek State Recreation Area trails are managed by the Homer Cycling Club through a special user agreement with Parks.

Approximately 4 miles north of Homer, turning left off the Sterling Highway across from Diamond Ridge Road is the access to this trail. You can park here and add a 1/2 mile to your hike or drive down to the trailhead.  The trail’s upper half is mostly switchbacks with a crushed-rock surface, and there are areas of blue clay that can be slick if wet. The last half of the trail is fairly steep; with abrupt edges along the narrow and slippery trail. Additional trails are maintained for singletrack cycling.
