Trails Less Traveled

Hikers and mountain bikers will find a network of trails around the town of Kodiak for exploring. Remote island hikes are also an option from remote wilderness lodges, including multi-day treks through the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge. Most trails around town are ranked moderately difficult, but easy trails are available in most parks and recreation areas. More challenging, technical trails can also be found.

Audubon Hikes

The Kodiak Audubon Society conducts numerous hikes and outings throughout the summer. They are a good way for visitors and new residents to become acquainted with local flora and fauna and to find out about the island's many hiking trails. Most hikes are on Saturdays and begin in front of the Visitors' Center/Ferry Terminal on Marine Way. Hikes are organized almost every weekend from mid May through mid September. For more information, pick up an Audubon hiking schedule at the Kodiak Island Convention and Visitors Bureau's Visitor Center.
For those who prefer to hike on their own, the

Kodiak Audubon Society also publishes a Kodiak Hiking Guide and a Hiking and Birding Guide. Copies are available at the Visitors Center.
