Humpy Creek Trail


	Courtesy of EatStayPlay.com

This 5.2 mile trail connects the Grewingk Creek and Humpy Creek areas with the Mallard Bay Trail; it also accesses the north end of the Emerald Lake Trail. From 0.2 mile Mallard Bay Trail junction, the forest has been devastated by spruce bark beetle and wind. The trail ascends switchbacks to Emerald Lake Trail junction (1.2 mile).

The trail then descends a ridge and forest (devastated), heading south (0.6 miles) over the tidewater flats of Kachemak Bay (area floods at extreme high tides), to the Humpy Creek Trailhead and Campsite. The trail then bridges Humpy Creek (known for pink "humpy" salmon), crosses a flat, mostly open outwash plain (next 1.6 miles), and passes small, blue pools of water. Trail then threads a narrow, rocky "flume" where Grewingk Creek once flowed, ending at Grewingk Creek/tram.
