Lake Lucille (4A3) sits in Wasilla, Alaska. Field elevation is 300 ft MSL. This is a seaplane base with one runway. The longest landing surface is 5,000 ft of water. No control tower is published, so use CTAF 122.8 for self-announce traffic. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published. For light piston operations, use the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement or local procedures say otherwise. The published remarks matter here. Approach is over the city. Watch for boaters, water skiers, snow machine activity and floating debris. There is also a small public dock on the northeast shore. Short term mooring is available by phone at 907-373-1776.
No on-field FBOs are listed, so plan ahead before arrival. For a first-time pilot, the main thing to know is that this is a busy water environment, not a paved runway stop. Keep your scan wide on final and on the water. The field sits in a populated area. Expect more non-aviation traffic near the approach path than you would at a remote strip. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement and call the airport operator if you need current local procedures before you launch.
