レイク・アンド・ペニンシュラ・ボロ周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

The only logical way to get to Lake Clark National Park is via plane or boat. One of the most popular sites for arriving to the park is at Port Alsworth. Only small passenger planes can land here along with boats, so it's best to plan your visit well in advance. That being said, a run in Lake Clark National Park can be an inspiring outing. For more information about flights and boat reservations, visit the NPS website: https://www.nps.gov/lacl/planyourvisit/directions.htm

Tanalian Falls is a 30-foot waterfall found near Kontrashibuna Lake along the Tanalian River. There are some benches at the overlook area and camping at the end of the Lake Trail. The further past the falls you run, the fewer people you will see.

Here at the end of the Confluence Trail you can to Three Forks where the Lethe and Windy Creek merge to form the Ukak River, also known as Knife Creek. The water flows downstream from here to Ukak Falls.

The two-tiered Brooks Falls viewing platform is the most popular place to be in Katmai National Park, because it offers great overlooks of the biggest and most dominant bears fishing around the waterfall. It can get crowded in July, so you should expect to wait a while before being allowed onto the platform. Your time on the platform may also be limited, usually to about an hour. There are restrictions on tripod use as well.

The most dominant bears tend to do their fishing around Brooks Falls, visible from the Falls viewing platform. However the Riffles platform, situated about 100 yards downstream from the Falls platform, has some advantages. There is usually no time limit for occupancy, and you are allowed to use tripods here. It's also a great place to watch sows teaching their cubs how to fish, and subadults trying out their new skills. You can view bears fishing in the Riffles via a NPS webcam: explore.org/livecams/brown-bears/brown-bear-salmon-cam-the-riffles

This bridge takes you across the Brooks River, the same water that rushes down the famous Brooks Falls a short distance upstream. There is a viewing platform at each end of the bridge, and you may see bears down by the river — or even on the bridge itself!

This picnic area on the shores of Brooks Lake offers a vault toilet, food cache, and covered cooking/eating area. The lake outlet, near the picnic area, is a good place for salmon-viewing in August and September. Sometimes you'll see bears fishing here, too. Human anglers also use this area as a starting point to access the upper Brooks River.

The campground has vault toilets, potable water, and an electric fence to deter bears. Capacity is limited to 60 people and fills up quickly during the summer.
