Beaver Dam At Silver Salmon Lake June 17, 2023 A scenic nature view of a large beaver bank lodge made of medium-sized tree limbs and logs joins the shoreline of Silver Salmon Lake where tall, pink fireweed blooms with a mountain in the background partially covered by snow within Lake Clark National Park and Preserve. Lake Clark is a lake in southwest Alaska within the Lake Clark National Park and Preserve with mountains beautiful stunning views . It drains through Six Mile Lake and the Newhalen River into Iliamna Lake. Lake Clark is 42 miles long, 5 miles wide, 1056 feet deep, and covers 128 square miles. Lake Clark was named for John W. Clark, chief of the Nushagak trading post and the first American non-Native to see the lake, when an expedition financed by a weekly magazine reached it in February 1891. Lake Clark National Park and Preserve is comprised of 4 million acres on the Alaska Peninsula in southwest Alaska. It is a land of stunning beauty and one of the nation's most remote national park units. Volcanoes steam, salmon run, bears forage, and craggy mountains reflect in shimmering turquoise lakes. Lake Clark offers excellent opportunities for adventure, exploration, learning, and just plain having fun. Image created by USA Patriotism! from U.S. National Park Service photo by K. Lewandowski.
