About this activity

Get acquainted with the beauty and vastness of Lake Clark firsthand. Spend a day on the water watching birds and jumping fish while paddling out to Tommy Island

Ranger Reccommendation


Be prepared with a good weather forecast, which you can obtain from the Port Alsworth Visitor Center. Rain and wind can pick up at any time along your journey making ocean-like waves and difficult paddling conditions. Plan for your day assuming there will be a headwind in the afternoon on the return to town. 

Lake Clark is a cold water lake. Talk with your outfitter or park staff about cold water safety. To learn more about staying in the park and preparing for weather, visit our Safety page.
