| Lake Clark National Park and Preserve | |
Getting to the Park:
Lake Clark National Park and Preserve is a remote area situated 150 miles southwest of
Anchorage, on the west side of the Cook Inlet, at the north end of the Alaska
Peninsula.
Getting There
By Plane: The closest major airport is Anchorage, AK with smaller airports at
IIiamna, Kenai and Homer, AK. Access
to the Lake Clark region is by small aircraft. Float planes may land on the many
lakes throughout the area. Wheeled planes land on open beaches, gravel bars, or
private airstrips in or near the park. A one to two-hour flight from Anchorage,
Kenai or Homer will provide access to most points within the park and preserve.
By Car: There
is no highway access to the park and preserve.
Public Transportation:
Scheduled commercial flights between Anchorage and
Iliamna, 30 miles outside the boundary, provide another means of access.
Getting Around
There are no roads in the park. A 2.5 mile
trail to Tanalian Falls and Kontrashibuna Lake is accessible from the town of
Port Alsworth. The 50 mile Telaquana Trail depicted on maps is an undeveloped
historic route from Lake Clark to Telaquana Lake.
Operating Hours & Seasons:
Open year round. Highest visitation is June through September
