Beaver Lake (D71) sits in Big Lake, Alaska. Field elevation is 150 ft MSL. No runways are listed in the facts for this field, so verify the current Chart Supplement before planning an arrival. This is a non-towered field. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL only if the current Chart Supplement and local conditions support that assumption. The published remarks also call out caution for personal watercraft. Public access is available on the southwest shore. Access on the northwest shore is limited. Transient service is not available.
No on-field FBOs are listed. Plan to self-brief carefully before you go. With no runway data published here, the current FAA Chart Supplement is the place to confirm surface details, traffic pattern notes and any operational restrictions. Big Lake area traffic can include mixed local use. Make your radio calls early. Keep an eye out for traffic on the water and near the shoreline.
