Lake Clark map from the park brochure
This is the official Lake Clark National Park map from the NPS brochure. It includes a handy guide to Dena’ina place names, helping users understand that Lake Clark features already had names before Western exploration.
Lake Clark trail maps
The Lake Clark National Park trail map shows the Tanalian Trails System in Port Alsworth. You’ll find the shorter Tanalian Falls and Beaver Pond trails, as well as the strenuous Tanalian Mountain hike.
The Portage Creek trail map shows the only other maintained trail in the national park. This trail departs from the Joe Thompson public use cabin and can be accessed by boat or floatplane.
Dick Proenneke Cabin maps
This is a Richard “Dick” Proenneke Cabin map. Made famous in the book One Man’s Wilderness: An Alaskan Odyssey and the PBS documentary Alone in the Wilderness, this cabin is open for visiting during the summer.
This is a Twin Lakes map, highlighting attractions in the Twin Lakes near the Proenneke Cabin, including Pyramid Peak, Black Mountain, Death Valley, Emerson Creek, Beaver Creek, and Teetering Rock.
Assorted Lake Clark maps
Here’s a Chinitna Bay map, zooming in on the popular bear viewing area at the Chinitna Bay salt marsh, where bears commonly graze in early summer. Most arrive here using a bush plane to land on the beach.
This Lake Clark public use cabin map shows the two cabins located on Lake Clark. They are available for overnight stays and are equipped with wooden bunks and a wood stove, table, chairs and detached outhouse.

Here’s a vegetation map of Lake Clark, showing
the variety of different types of forests in the park, along with rock, ice, marsh, tundra, and other land cover types in this diverse park.
Lake Clark regional maps
This Lake Clark regional map shows all the parks of the Alaska Peninsula: national parks (including Katmai National Park), national wildlife refuges, and parks managed by the state of Alaska.
This Lake Clark area map focuses on NPS units, showing both Kenai Fjords National Park (on the Kenai Peninsula) and Katmai National Park (on the Alaska Peninsula), along with towns like Homer, Kodiak, and King Salmon.
Archived Lake Clark maps
The National Park Service often releases new maps and updates old ones. Accordingly, any maps in the section below have since been superseded by maps further up this page. But rather than delete old maps, I archive them here so users can see how parks (and their maps) change over time.
This is the Lake Clark National Park map from 2018. Port Alsworth and associated facilities along the shores of Lake Clark are highlighted, and the rest of the park is largely untrammeled wilderness.
