Lake Clark National Park
   FAQ



       
Lake Clark National Park is a remote area situated 150 miles southwest of Anchorage, on the west side of the Cook Inlet, at the north end of the Alaska Peninsula. Within its 2.6 million acres/1.1 million hectares, Lake Clark National Park offers four out of five of Alaska's biotic zones. A visit to this park is like visiting the state in miniature. From Cook Inlet, through the Chigmit Mountains to the hills of the western interior, you'll see a variety of landscapes, including tundra, riparian, coastal and forest. Lake Clark also has active volcanoes, raging rivers, waterfalls and glaciers. It is often noted for its rough untamed terrain. From its snow topped volcanoes, Illiamna and Redoubt, to mountain glaciers, it is an area of constant movement and change.
In addition to the great sockeye salmon fishing to be had on Lake Clark and other nearby lakes, the park is a great place to spot caribou, bears, bald eagles and other wildlife native to Alaska. As you trek into the park, you'll feel like an explorer entering a new frontier as there's only one trail and all camping is primitive.
