Little wonder those wags haven't, since it takes a flight aboard a small, chartered aircraft just to reach this roadless park. For the self-sufficient adventurer, Lake Clark National Park and Preserve is a paradise found.
All camping is primitive and there is only one maintained hiking trail.
Alpine lakes dot the landscape and rivers run freely through it. Tundra, coastal, forest, and riparian zones coexist here as well, sustaining an incredible array of plant and animal life over Lake Clark's 2.6 million acres. Take a map and a compass and learn the lay of the land as you slog through wet, trailless tundra. Navigate one of the three National Wild Rivers on kayak or canoe and absorb the wildlife and scenery around you. Fish for trout, pike, and salmon, or relax lazily by a crystal blue lake and breathe the clean mountain air.
