Homer

The Homer boat ramp provides easy access to the scenic waters of Kachemak Bay and the Pacific Ocean. This ramp is well-suited for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorized boats looking to explore the nearby Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge and Kachemak Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve.

The ramp is located in the town of Homer, on the southern end of the Kenai Peninsula. Kachemak Bay is a large, sheltered inlet off the Pacific Ocean, known for its dramatic coastal mountains, abundant wildlife, and proximity to the Aleutian Islands. The bay can experience strong tidal currents, so boaters should be prepared to navigate accordingly.

Many tour operators and water taxis use the Homer ramp as a launching point to access remote areas of Kachemak Bay and the surrounding coastline that are otherwise only reachable by air or water. Paddlers can find ample opportunities for wildlife viewing, sightseeing, and wilderness exploration by launching from this convenient location.
