The 'Point' is surrounded by State and National Parks & Forests. A very nicely mainetained trail to Tonsina Creek, then on to Cains Head - site of WWII Fort McGillvary.
Since Lowell Point is unincorporated, it is subject to a 2% Kenai Peninsula Borough sales tax and there is no additional bed tax, so you get extra value for you dollar.
There is a working farm on the 'Point' on the Miller Family Homestead and you can buy farm fresh eggs in the Miller's Landing store.

I'm putting the Aialik Glacier in this category because it is not normally on the Kenai Fjords Tour. On 7 trips in 1996, I never saw it. We always visited the Holgate Glacier. In July, 2001 I was able to see the Aialik Glacier for the first time. The captain announced that they normally weren't able to get in to see this glacier because it is very active. In other words, huge chunks of glacial ice are calving off this glacier at fairly regular intervals. This makes it too dangerous for boats to get near. Lucky for us, the glacier had slowed down a bit while we were there. :-) Both glaciers are in beautiful settings but I liked the Aialik more - perhaps because it was something new...

Funny how you can miss something like this on the way up and then on the way back realize just how special it is. A field of wild flowers on the trail leading to the Harding Icefield.
