Twin Lakes (Alaska)

Template:Short description Template:Use American English Template:More citations needed Template:Infobox body of water Twin Lakes is a complex of two large lakes in Lake Clark National Park in the U.S. state of Alaska,<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> near the northeast corner of Lake and Peninsula Borough. It contains a Template:Convert upper lake and a smaller Template:Convert lower lake, joined by a short connecting stream. The lakes outflow westward into the Chilikadrotna River<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> (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.
