Lake Clark

Lake Clark National Park and Preserve is a land of stunning beauty where volcanoes steam, salmon run, bears forage, and craggy mountains reflect in shimmering turquoise lakes. Local people and culture here still depend on the land and water. Lake Clark has two distinct climate areas, the coast and the interior. The coast is wetter and has milder temperatures, while the interior gets half to one fourth as much precipitation but has hotter summers and colder winters. Frost and snow can occur any time parkwide but are most common from September to early June. Lakes here typically begin freezing in November and melting in April, and ice conditions determine whether planes need floats or skis to land on lakes.
