Minuteman Lake is in Willow, Alaska. Field elevation is 295 ft MSL. No runways are listed in the current facts, so check the current FAA Chart Supplement and the airport operator before planning a landing. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published. The pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so verify it before flight.
This is a seaplane base. The published remarks say no service of any type is available to transient aircraft. The lake condition is not monitored. Do a visual inspection before use. There is also a tree hazard on the east end of the lake. That matters on arrival and departure, especially if you are working a low approach or a short water run.
No on-field FBOs are listed. Contact the airport operator directly or call on CTAF or UNICOM for current local handling details. With no tower and no published ILS, this is a VFR planning field where current conditions matter. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any noise or curfew restrictions before flying in.
