Finger Lake (99Z) sits in Palmer, Alaska. Field elevation is 337 ft MSL. No runways are listed in the facts for this field, so check the current FAA Chart Supplement before planning a landing. It is an uncontrolled field. CTAF is 122.8. No ILS approaches are published. Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern only if that matches the current published guidance for your aircraft and operation.
This is a quiet, limited-service stop. Transient service is not available. There are no on-field FBOs listed. If you need local handling or current ramp details, call the airport operator directly or contact the field on CTAF before arrival. Published remarks also note that the Elks Lodge dock is private. Public access is on the northeast shore at the state recreation site. Dock mooring is not available. Heel-up away from the boat launch is permitted. Camping fee applies.
For a first-time arrival, the big items are the lack of published runway data, no tower and no published ILS. The field elevation is modest at 337 ft MSL. The location in Alaska means you should verify current conditions, surface access and any local restrictions before you go. Motor operations are not allowed from 2300 to 0800. No wake zones exist within 100 feet of shore.
