Lake Clark National Park & Preserve
Wolves
Most wolves, like most people, prefer to live in groups.
A careful observer can often find wolf tracks in the
Lake Clark area.
 

Wolves in Lake Clark National Park and Preserve are found mainly in the park's mountainous areas, generally below 5,000 feet in coniferous forests, and in open tundra. Although they are a fairly common sight, even around Port Alsworth, little is known about the lives of Lake Clark wolves - none are radio collared. For more information, visit the State of Alaska's wildlife notebook wolf page.

Did You Know?
Dall sheep are the only wild sheep in the world with a white coat. Because they prefer steep, mountainous habitat, spotting a sheep is a rare treat in Lake Clark National Park and Preserve.
