Lake and Peninsula Phone Directory

The Lake and Peninsula Borough phone directory covers a vast stretch of Southwest Alaska, where small communities line the Alaska Peninsula and the shores of some of the state's largest lakes. Finding the right phone number in this region takes some effort because services are spread across a large area with no road system connecting most villages. The borough seat is King Salmon, and most government contacts run through that office or through state agencies based in Anchorage. This phone directory lists the key numbers you need for borough offices, courts, law enforcement, and state agencies that serve the Lake and Peninsula area. Use it to reach the right person without guessing which office to call first.

Lake and Peninsula Borough Clerk Phone Directory

The Borough Clerk's Office is your main contact point for Lake and Peninsula Borough government records and services. The clerk handles public records requests, maintains borough documents, and can point you toward the right office for most local matters. Because the borough covers such a wide area, many residents rely on phone and mail for their dealings with the clerk's office rather than in-person visits.

The clerk's office shares some services with the Bristol Bay Borough since both are based in King Salmon. If you call one office and they can't help, they can usually direct you to the other. The borough operates under Alaska's municipal government statutes, which means records access follows the Alaska Public Records Act at AS 40.25.100 through AS 40.25.295. You have the right to inspect and copy public records during regular business hours. The clerk's office can tell you what records they hold and how to request them.

Hours run Monday through Friday. Call ahead before making a trip since staff may be out for meetings or travel to other communities in the borough.
