Wilder Runway sits at Port Alsworth, Alaska. Field elevation is 288 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 06R/24L, which is 3,849 ft long and surfaced with gravel and dirt. There is no control tower. All operations use CTAF 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.
This is a cold-temperature airport. Altitude correction is required at or below minus 18 degrees Celsius. The runway is unattended, so a visual inspection before landing is a good habit. Published remarks also say runway 06R/24L can be soft in spring. Reflective cones outline one side of runway 06R. The runway ends are unmarked. Vehicle traffic crosses the approach end of runway 24L. That crossing is not visible from the opposite end.
No on-field FBOs are listed. Check with the airport operator or call the field directly before arrival if you need services. A separate 3,000-foot dirt and gravel runway is owned and operated one quarter mile north and parallel to 06R/24L. For current weather camera views, Lake Clark weather cameras are available online. For any current operational notes, verify the latest Chart Supplement before you go.
