Public Involvement

Dear Friends of Lake Clark,

The National Park Service is developing a general management plan (GMP) revision for Lake Clark National Park and Preserve. This plan will provide direction for managing the park and preserve over the next 15 to 20 years.

As part of the general management planning process, we invited comments on the scoping newsletter last summer. Many of you read the newsletter in the summer of 2011, and attended a public meeting. The park is currently developing preliminary alternatives that will be released in a newsletter during the spring of 2012. I truly appreciate your interest in the management of Lake Clark National Park and Preserve, and look forward to your continued involvement in this important planning process.

Sincerely,

Joel Hard
Superintendent, Lake Clark National Park and Preserve

Did You Know?

Fishermen lived for weeks on double-ender sailboats, sleeping and cooking in the bow.

Commercial fishermen on Lake Clark and Lake Iliamna in the early part of the 20th century used "double-ender" sailboats until engines were permitted in the 1950s. A restored double ender is on display at the Port Alsworth Visitors Center.
