Lake Clark National Park and Preserve occupies the north end of the Alaska Peninsula in south-central Alaska. Its 4 million acres straddle the Chigmit Mountains, bridging the Aleutian Range to the southwest and the Alaska Range to the north.

The park and preserve’s terrain rises from the irregular coastline of western Cook Inlet, framed by rugged peaks and spires, glaciers, and snow-clad volcanoes, to a more interior region characterized by braided glacial rivers, cascading streams, waterfalls, and turquoise-blue lakes. Lake Clark itself is the sixth largest lake in Alaska. To learn more about the natural features of Lake Clark National Park and Preserve, click the links above or in the navigation bar.
