Covering over four million acres, the park includes Lake Clark, the sixth largest lake in Alaska, three national wild rivers, and two active volcanoes. Arriving almost exclusively by small aircraft, visitors fi nd themselves in a wilderness where they can explore, see, and experience a largely undisturbed natural landscape. Due to the remote nature of the park, visitor services are also off ered in the gateway community of Homer, Alaska. The Long-Range Interpretive Plan is a document that sharpens our focus and draws together all of the education and interpretation eff orts related to the national park and preserve. The Foundation for Planning section of this document defi nes the park themes, identifi es the desired visitor experience, lists issues and challenges, and describes the existing condition of the interpretive services within the park. The Recommendations section identifi es the specifi c actions that we and our partners intend to take to meet our vision for the future of interpretation over the next seven to ten years. Lake Clark National Park and Preserve is supported through partnerships with many local, regional, and national organizations. The park staff engaged partners, local community members, commercial operators, and many others throughout the planning process. This collaborative eff ort produced a more comprehensive and inclusive look at how we will interpret the park to visitors in the future. By providing a broad spectrum of services, including a variety of media using the most current technologies, more visitors will be encouraged to experience the park in person as well as virtually.

The reader knows that Richard Proenneke spent another 3 decades at this cabin and wondering what thoughts and images are recorded in his journals and photographs. Hopefully someday these will be compiled into another book but an author with as much skill as Sam Keith...one who can keep the interest alive in the words recorded by Richard and one who can convey the spirit and magic of Twin Lakes.

Copyright (c) Outdoors-Magazine.com under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non-Commercial-Share Alike License Copyright © Outdoors-Magazine.com Page 1/7 One Man's Wilderness, An Alaskan Odyssey Richard Proenneke's journals kept in 1968-1969 were used by Sam Keith to produce a simply wonderful book of this one man's first 16 months in the Alaska wilderness of Twin Lakes, which is approximately 170 miles Northeast of Anchorage and now part of the Lake Clark National Park. This book only covers the first 2 seasons but Proenneke lived for nearly 30 years in his cabin on the Lake. This book covers the building of the cabin and his daily life for those early years. Richard Proenneke filmed much of his activities and these films have been edited by Bob Swerer Productions into an excellent program, covering the same 16 months of time, this runs on many PBS television stations and the DVD is available for sale. Richard Proenneke was a diesel mechanic who spent some of his early times in Alaska working for the US Navy. In 1967, at age 50, he decided to retire. He spent some time at the cabin of a friend (Spike) on the Upper Lake of Twin Lakes.
