About This Adventure Destination

Lake Clark National Park & Preserve: A Natural Marvel

Located in the heart of Alaska, Lake Clark National Park and Preserve is where rugged mountains, sparkling turquoise lakes, and expansive tundras create breathtaking landscapes. Encompassing parts of the Alaska and Aleutian Ranges, it's a destination that embodies the wild and untamed spirit of the region. The stunning Lake Clark itself is the park's crown jewel, known for its vibrant color and reflective surface due to glacial mineral contributions.

Established in 1980, this place is a haven for those seeking solitude in nature, offering both adventure and tranquility. Local indigenous cultures have inhabited the area for thousands of years, relying on its natural bounty. The park's relative inaccessibility adds to its allure, making it a sought-after experience for the adventurous traveler.

Beautiful park and scenery. We flew into Port Alsworth and hiked to Tanalian Falls and Kontrashibuna Lake and also kayaked on Lake Clark. A day in this part of the park was the perfect amount of time! I wouldn’t suggest needing any longer unless you’re traveling to other portions of the park.
