KAKE Airport sits in KAKE, Alaska at 0 ft MSL. This is a seaplane base with no listed runways. No tower is published here. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published. Pattern altitude is not published, so use standard local judgment for the traffic pattern and confirm current procedures before arrival.
There are no on-field FBOs listed in the facts. Plan to verify services with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before you go. Published remarks matter here. Boats may be tied to the seaplane base float. Boats are also operating in the landing area. Rocks and shoals border the channel. Debris is in the water. That makes a careful approach and a good lookout essential, especially if you are new to the field.
A weather camera is available online through the FAA weather camera system. For a first visit, treat this as a water operation with traffic and obstacle awareness, not a normal runway arrival. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any updated local procedures before flying in.
