Located in Katmai National Park and Preserve, the lake is {{convert|64|km|mi||order=flip}} long and {{convert|3|to|8|mi|spell=in}} wide, the largest lake in the park The lake drains west into Bristol Bay through the Naknek River.[1] The elevation of the lake has lowered over the past 5,000 years as it has cut through a glacial moraine, separating Naknek Lake and Brooks Lake and creating Brooks Falls about 3500 years ago.[2] The earliest Russian explorer reported the lake's name as Naknek, but a later one said its name was "Akulogak". Ivan Petrof named the lake Lake Walker, for Francis Amasa Walker, Superintendent of the 1880 United States census. The lake is famous for its sport fishing, supporting one of the largest king salmon fisheries in southwestern Alaska, though the king salmon are greatly outnumbered by sockeye salmon as well as pink and chum salmon. Large rainbow trout are also common around the lake, along with northern pike, lake trout and Arctic char. Brooks Camp is located on the lake's shore where the Brooks River enters the lake over rapids.[3] AnimalsNaknek Lake harbors a wide variety of life, typical of the Alaska Peninsula. Typically observed around the lake are moose, wolves, and occasionally wolverines.[4] However, the lake is most famous for sockeye salmon and grizzly bears. The bears are often seen wandering around the lake or wading into it to catch fish, but they are found in the greatest abundances at Brooks Camp. } Bears are seen frequently at Brooks Falls, catching salmon there; they are the main attraction to the lake and Brooks Falls and Camp.[5] References1. ^{{cite web|title=Boating|url=http://www.nps.gov/katm/planyourvisit/boating.htm|work=Katmai National Park and Preserve|publisher=National Park Service|accessdate=24 April 2014}} {{LakeandPeninsulaAK-geo-stub}}{{BristolBayAK-geo-stub}}2. ^{{cite web|title=Brooks Camp|url=http://www.nps.gov/katm/historyculture/brooks-camp.htm|work=Katmai National Park and Preserve|publisher=National Park Service|accessdate=24 April 2014}} 3. ^{{cite web|title=Sport Fishing at the Naknek River|url=https://www.adfg.alaska.gov/static-sf/Region2/pdfpubs/NaknekRiver.pdf|publisher=Alaska Department of Fish and Game|accessdate=24 April 2014|date=October 2006}} 4. ^Van Gelder, Richard.
