Free and hike-in only, Lake Kontrashibuna sits within Lake Clark National Park, managed by the National Park Service with no reservation required. The site includes toilets and permits campfires, pets, and alcohol. Terrain runs forested with river proximity, making it a reasonable base for backcountry travel in the area. No reviews have been logged yet, so campers should contact the park directly before planning a trip. Well-suited to self-sufficient hikers comfortable with remote, undeveloped conditions.
Description
Store food in a bear resistant food container or hang in a tree twelve feet off the ground and four feet away from the tree trunk. It may be difficult to locate trees large enough to properly hang food. Bear resistant food containers are strongly recommended and can be borrowed from the visitor center in Port Alsworth. It is strongly suggested that you put anything with an odor like sunscreen, toothpaste, and fishing gear in the container as well. Cook at least 100 yards away from your camp to avoid an association made by the bear between your camp and your food. Set up camp on a durable surface away from bear trails and river banks. Please follow Leave No Trace ethics and park rules and regulations when choosing campsites, storing food, and building campfires.
