Lake Maxinkuckee (01H) sits in Culver, Indiana. Field elevation is 733 ft MSL. No runways are listed in the published data, so this is a seaplane operation rather than a conventional paved strip. No control tower is published. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published. Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern only if that matches the current seaplane procedures you have been given for the field.

The published remarks matter here. All traffic remains south of the seaplane. The Chart Supplement also says to expect heavy boat traffic from Memorial Day through Labor Day. Do not block boat ramps. Seaplane docking areas are limited. Seaplane operations are prohibited between sunset and sunrise. There is also a 170 ft tower about 2,000 ft north of the lake. That is a real factor for arrival planning and low-level maneuvering.

For clearance delivery, contact Chicago ARTCC at 630-906-8921. If you are new to the lake, brief the pattern and water traffic before you get close. Keep the operation south of the seaplane. Verify current procedures with the airport operator or the current FAA Chart Supplement before flying in.
