Sightseeing
Take a day trip to check out Homer. There are 2 areas to walk here.
Downtown area - park at one of the stores on Pioneer avenue and walk around.
The 'Spit' - lots of parking is at the end of the spit. Walk around to the little collection of shops, get ice cream, and watch the ocean. The infamous Salty Dawg Saloon is down here, so be sure to get a locally loved sweatshirt and leave a dollar pinned on the saloon.
Me: I'd get food at Fat Olive's. They have great bruschetta but are often PACKED.
H: Get food at Latitude 59. The chicken cashew wrap is delicious. Also La Baleine Cafe.

Look up the "Kenai River Trail" on Skilak Lake Loop. This jaunt is only 5 minutes walking to the river (if you take the left). If you choose the long right side trail, it'll bring you along the cliffside of the river for awhile.
Bring bear spray.

Nova offers white water rafting here! I've done it - quite the rush!
Note: You must be able to pass an in-water swim test with a life vest on for them to take you out.

This park and field offers a huge playground and an amazing set of stairs that bring you along the riverside. The stairs were incorporated when I was younger to prevent erosion.
