Denali National Preserve Details
Located in the northwestern and southwestern portions of Denali National Park and Preserve, the Denali National Preserve encompasses 1.3 million acres, compared to 6 million acres for the national park. The preserve is broken into northern and southern sections: the former includes the Highpower Creek and Muddy River areas, while the latter includes parts of the Alaska Range around Mount Dall. The National Preserve designation means this part of the park is more open for commercial activities like fishing, hunting, mining, and even oil/gas exploration than the national park. Sport hunting is permitted in the southwest preserve, for example, but not the park; hunting trips are organized by outfitters like the Alaska Remote Guide Service and Bearfoot Adventures.
