Angels Rest  on Resurrection Bay

Heavenly Lodging in Seward Alaska

Hiking trails in the Seward area are extensive and varied ~ no matter what your skill level, there's a hike for you.  Because of our vast wilderness, it only takes a few minutes to feel as if you are in another world.  Below we give you an overview and some resources for exploring the numerous options.  You can also spend a lot of time just walking the beaches of the cabins.  Our two waterfront cabins have private stairs to the beach; the Hobbit Loft is just a short walk from South Beach, and the Caines Head trail head. Be sure to give yourself time to experience some heavenly relaxation in these very special cabins just south of Seward, Alaska, on the shores of Resurrection Bay, on the Kenai Peninsula, with spectacular wildlife and scenery surrounding them.

Our favorite hike is to Tonsina Creek, which is accessible from Lowell Point, a part of the Caines Head State Recreation Area, you access the trail from Lowell Point Recreational Area's upper parking lot

  • Note: due to Oct 2006 flooding trail is extremely rough, some sections may be impassable
  • You can also hike further, all the way to Caines Head, the home of historic World War II Ft. McGilvary
    • hike must be coordinated with tides; one coastal section can only be hiked at a minus low tide
    • this part of the planning is complicated!! Let us help you figure this out! We know how to read the tide tables and can help you be sure you don't get stranded or stuck!
    • Because of the distance and tides, you can only hike one way (without spending the night)
    • Plan on taking a water taxi in the opposite direction
      • Note: due to Oct 2006 flooding and condition of trail between Lowell Point and Tonsina, you may only be able to take a water taxi both ways 
    • This map (may take a few moments to load) shows the trails

The surrounding Seward area includes a number of trails

  • The Lost Lake Trail and Primrose Trail are both very popular and accessible year round; guests quite often tell us about these trails as being favorites
  • This map roughly shows the locations of trails on the Kenai Peninsula, check each link though for the real location
  • For a complete list of the nearby trails visit this Seward Ranger District list. 
    • Many trails are accessible year round
  • Seasonally you can also hike the Harding Ice field Trail in the Kenai Fjords National Park 
  • Last but not least, you can hike Mt. Marathon, from downtown Seward go west on Jefferson till you see the trail head famous for the 4th of July race held annually. This is not an easy hike and should not be attempted by most.

For all hikes, stay on the trail. Never try to take a "shortcut," looks can be deceiving and you can find yourself stranded.
Be prepared for bears; hike with a can of pepper spray clipped on your belt or other spot where it is easy to get to.
We have addition information both at the office and in each cabin.  We're familiar with the area; don't hesitate to ask questions!
