Purpose Lake Clark National Park and Preserve is located in Southwest Alaska. The park has glaciers, jagged mountains, active volcanoes and tundra landscapes. Rivers and creeks flow throughout the park's rough terrain. These ecosystems support the Bristol Bay sockeye, or red, salmon. Local people still depend on the land and water and have for the past 10,000 years. Lake Clark is wild and rugged. There are no roads to the park, and it can only be reached by traveling in a small plane.

Lake Clark National Park and Preserve is located on the ancestral homelands of the Dena'ina people. Qizhjeh Vena (Lake Clark) means 'a place where people gather lake' in the Dena'ina language.
