The Joe Thompson Public Use Cabin sits at the trailhead for the Portage Creek Trail. You have to pay a fee and make a reservation to actually stay at the Joe Thompson Public Use Cabin, but you can run the trail and head back to the main part of the island in just a few hours. Note that like many trailheads in Lake Clark National Park, you can only get here by boat or float plane.

The trail up Tanalian Mountain climbs quickly and steeply up to 3,960 feet. It overlooks Lake Clark National Park and a lot of the surrounding mountains, glaciers, and lakes. This is a tough run that is primarily a power-hike during the uphill. Coming down can be slick but offers a real Alaskan mountain running experience.

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.

Kontrashibuna Lake is located within Lake Clark National Park's wilderness area. The trails are more primitive, and so is the nature you will encounter.

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.

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 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.

Ukak Falls, a mighty cascade of ash-laden water, is one of the common destinations on ranger-led hikes from the Robert F. Griggs Visitor Center in Katmai National Park. Use caution if you wander near the canyon rim — its edge can be unstable.
