Paddling Details

Whether you go with a park-authorized guide service or head out on your own, paddling in Lake Clark National Preserve is a peaceful and relaxing way to experience the wilderness. If you plan on paddling in the park and want to bring your own gear, be sure to take that into consideration when making transportation arrangements; park officials suggest inflatable or foldable canoes and kayaks. Keep your safety top of mind when paddling: keep an eye on the weather, as a calm lake can quickly become rough. Remember that the water is frigid and the air can be windy and wet, so dress accordingly. Brush up on bear safety in the event of a furry encounter.
