In a few hairpin bends leads this 250m long way down to the lake through a wooded area, which ends in a kind of marsh and moorland. About wooden walkways to reach the observation deck, where well sprayed with mosquito repellent, which can observe native and migratory birds.

The Keen-Eye Nature Trail starting from the headquarters of the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge near Soldotna, is 0.75 miles long through a wooded area with a side trail leading down to Headquarters Lake. There are three basic options on these refuge trails. First and easiest is the 0.3 mile (one way), "accessible with assistance," portion of Keen-Eye Nature Trail, an easy trail and boardwalk leading to a viewing deck on the shoreline of Headquarters Lake. Second, you can hike the 0.8 mile Keen-Eye loop, and third, there's the 2 mile Centennial Trail Loop through a wooded area with further opportunity to view wildlife in the area. All the trails together add up to an about 3 miles loop. Trail and nature information is available at the refuge visitor center.
