The community of Port Alsworth is located on the southeast shore of Lake Clark at Hardenburg Bay at the base of Tanalian Mountain, about 170 miles southwest of Anchorage. It is the only community within the wilderness of Lake Clark National Park and Preserve, which makes Port Alsworth the perfect launch point for those seeking a wilderness experience.
The centerpiece of the area is Lake Clark, a 42-mile-long body of freshwater, one of the spawning grounds for the world-famous Bristol Bay sockeye salmon run. Port Alsworth has a vast array of visitor services as well as the headquarters of Lake Clark National Park. Local attractions include fishing the Tanalian River, climbing Tanalian Mountain, and the short 2.5 mile hike to the picturesque Tanalian Falls. Boat and canoe rentals are available, as well as guided fly-out sightseeing and fishing. So whether you hear the back country calling you, or you just want to relax and get away, come see what Port Alsworth has to offer.
