Port Alsworth

Few communities in Alaska have a history as closely tied to bush aviation as Port Alsworth. Set on the shore of Lake Clark, it serves as the headquarters community for Lake Clark National Park and Preserve, where the Chigmit Mountains rise west of Cook Inlet. Port Alsworth grew from a homestead established by Babe Alsworth in 1950, and his family’s aviation work helped connect this roadless part of south-central Alaska with the outside world. Small aircraft remain essential here, while the lake, rivers and mountains shape a settlement governed by water, weather and distance.
