ATTN: JUNIOR RANGERS

Manteo, NC 27954
 
Junior Ranger Patch
In just a few days you will receive your Junior Ranger Badge. If you visit the park in person during the summer months, we have a Roanoke Ranger program that comes with a great Patch (shown at left) for your jacket or book bag. When you arrive at the Visitor Center, ask for the Roanoke Ranger workbook.

Remember, the National Parks belong to all of us. Now that you're a Junior Ranger, you have a special responsibility to try visit each and every one in person (after all, cyberspace is nice but, nothing beats the real thing.) There are almost 400 of them, so you better get started!

Lake Clark is fed by snowfall and glaciers in the surrounding mountains.  

Did You Know?
Lake Clark is 1056 feet deep and covers 128 square miles. Thousands of years ago, the lake (and nearby Lake Iliamna) may have been open to salt water before being closed off by glacial outwash deposits.
