Lynx, coyotes, and wolverines range widely throughout the forests and low alpine areas of the park and preserve, which they share with porcupines and snowshoe hares. The tiniest mammals also make their homes in the area - twelve species of vole, lemming and shrew probably occur, of which the redback vole is most abundant. Minks, beavers and river otters inhabit ponds, lakes and rivers. River otters, also called land otters, are particularly common along the coast. Red squirrels, arctic ground squirrels, American marten, shorttail weasels and least weasels are also found throughout the Lake Clark area.
