Port Alsworth, on the shore of Lake Clark, is the largest community and functions as the borough’s unofficial hub — it is the headquarters of Lake Clark National Park and Preserve and the base for most air-taxi traffic into the park. Chignik, Chignik Lagoon and Chignik Lake are three separate, closely-spaced communities on the Pacific side of the Alaska Peninsula and are easy to conflate; each has its own city or CDP government and its own ZIP code.<\/p>\n
