Morphology

lake + Clark + national + park

The phrase is a compositional place name: 'lake' (body of water) + 'Clark' (a proper name) combined with 'national park' clearly indicates a park at the national level associated with a lake called Clark. A B1 learner who knows those constituents can infer it is a national park centered on or named after Lake Clark even without prior exposure to this specific park.

Etymology

Lake Clark National Park comes from the big lake at its heart, called Lake Clark. That lake was likely named for an early explorer or settler named Clark, and the words national park show the lake and the land around it are protected today.
