Lake Clark National Park and Preserve is a huge four million acre protected area at the north end of the Alaska Peninsula. The park includes large number of streams and lakes, including Lake Clark, crucial to the Bristol Bay salmon fishery. The park protects many ecosystems, including alpine tundra, rainforests on the coastline of Cook Inlet, glaciers, glacial lakes, rivers and two volcanoes – Mount Redoubt, which is active, and Mount Iliamna. The diversity of ecosystems in the park ensures great conditions for all major Alaskan animals including bears. The park can only be reached by boat or small aircraft, mostly floatplanes. Most popular activities for visitors in the park and preserve are hiking, kayaking, rafting, and camping. Port Alsworth on Lake Clark is the main settled area. Five other settlements in the park are mostly populated by Dena'ina natives.
