Nature
Lake Clark National Park and Preserve in southwest Alaska covers more than four million acres from the Cook Inlet coast across mountains into the interior, with about two-thirds designated wilderness. Established as a national monument in 1978 and as a national park and preserve in 1980, it contains an exceptional range of landscapes, including rainforests, tundra, glaciers, lakes, marshes, and major salmon rivers. Its wildlife is equally rich, with notable brown bear concentrations tied to sockeye salmon runs that support the Bristol Bay fishery. The region also preserves deep human history, including Dena'ina heritage and Kijik village, while remaining remote and accessible only by boat or small aircraft.
