Twin Lakes is a complex of two large lakes in Lake Clark National Park in the U.S. state of Alaska,[1] near the northeast corner of Lake and Peninsula Borough. It contains a 6adj=midNaNadj=mid upper lake and a smaller 4adj=midNaNadj=mid lower lake, joined by a short connecting stream. The lakes outflow westward into the Chilikadrotna River[2] (and eventually into the Mulchatna and Nushagak Rivers and Nushagak Bay). It is quite remote and unpopulated, except in the late summer as it is a popular hunting spot.
The lake complex was the retirement home of naturalist Richard Proenneke (1916–2003), who spent most (1968–1998) of the last 35 years of his life living there in a log cabin he built by hand. (See and Alone in the Wilderness).[3] It is only reachable by air taxi via a float or a wheel plane.[4]
