Naknek Airport (5NK) is in Naknek, Alaska. Field elevation is 70 ft MSL. The airport has two gravel runways. The longest is runway 08/26 at 1,950 ft. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The field is uncontrolled, so expect self-announce traffic and keep a sharp scan. Published remarks also say runway condition is not monitored. A visual inspection is recommended before use. The airport is unlit. The windsock is unreliable. Uncontrolled vehicular traffic is present on the runways.
There are no on-field FBOs listed. Contact the airport operator directly before arrival if you need local services. Runway 08/26 has rocks exceeding 2 inches in diameter and ruts up to 6 inches deep. Runway 14/32 has rocks exceeding 2 to 3 inches in diameter and 3 inch ruts. The first 200 feet of runway 32 is soft when wet. The first 400 feet slopes downhill. There is no line of sight between runways or waterways. Seaplanes approach the lake from the east over runway 14-32 and Tibbets Airport. Float aircraft departing the northwest lake to the east cross the airport at low altitude. They are not visible until airborne.
