The lake is about 64 km (40 mi) long and about 8 km (5.0 mi) wide. Lake Clark was named for John W. Clark, chief of the Nushagak trading post and the first Ame

rican non-Native to see the lake, when an expedition financed by a weekly magazine reached it in February 1891. The Dena'ina Athabascan name is Qizjeh Vena which means "place where people gather lake". The lake is within Lake Clark National Park and Preserve.
