10:55 AM LOCAL TIMELake Clark National Park and Preserve covers southwest Alaska from the volcanic summits of Redoubt and Catholic to the coastal rainforests of Cook Inlet. The park’s jagged waterways are gateways to salmon runs, bear viewing, and native Tlingit and Aleut culture, while its snow-capped mountains and glacial valleys invite backcountry travel and remote hiking. Due to limited road access, most visitors arrive by small-plane flights to lakeside airstrips or boat; once inside, activities range from fishing and canoeing to high-alpine trekking and glacier crossing. The park’s landscapes are shaped by tectonics and volcanic eruptions, with features like Redoubt dominating regional skyline and smaller systems supplying vital fish habitat.
