Island Lake (29A) is in Wasilla, Alaska. The field elevation is 370 ft MSL. No tower is published. CTAF is 122.8. No ILS approaches are published. The airport has 0 listed runways in the facts block, though the published remarks note surface 18W/36W. The longest runway is not listed.
For pattern work, the pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. There are no on-field FBOs listed in the facts, so plan to verify services before you go. Published remarks also say runway 18W/36W is frozen in winter. That matters for surface condition and braking. The notes also call out an island at the south end. There is a 100-foot tower about 1 NM northwest of the lake, so keep that in mind on arrival and departure.
This is a non-towered field, so self-announce clearly on CTAF and expect local traffic to be using the lake environment as well as the published surface. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any updates on runway status, pattern guidance, or other operational notes before you fly in.
