Covered by ice fields and volcanoes, Lake Clark National Park and Preserve stretches from Cook Inlet, across the Chigmit Mountains where the Aleutian Range meets the Alaska Range to the western interior of Alaska. Glacier-fed Lake Clark is 40 miles long in the southwest corner.
Rivers and lakes produce trophy-size fish and river running is popular on the wild and scenic rivers. Wildlife viewing is also popular.
The park is open all year, but June-September is peak season. Access is by air; there are no roads.
There is a National Parks & Monuments Visitor Center at Port Alsworth with natural history exhibits and private lodges exist in the park.
