Port Alsworth Details
One hundred miles southwest of Anchorage is where you'll find Port Alsworth, founded on Lake Charles in 1950 by missionary and bush pilot Babe Alsworth and Mary Alsworth, the community's first postmaster. Today, the community of 125 residents is the only village within Lake Clark National Park & Preserve, and it's home to the Lake Clark Visitor Center. You'll also find overnight accommodations, raft rentals, and just a few more visitor services in Port Alsworth; for anything else, you'll need to drive a bit.
