Portage Creek Airport sits in Portage Creek, Alaska. Field elevation is 129 ft MSL. The airport has two runways. The longest is runway 10/28 at 1,920 ft. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The field is rough and not maintained. A preflight walk or low pass inspection makes sense before committing. Runway 10/28 is very soft with deep loose gravel. The first 200 feet of runway 28 is closed with brush along the edges. Runway 10/28 also slopes up toward the east end. There is no line of sight between runway ends.
Runway 01/19 is 1,470 ft long. It is marked with reflective orange cones. Runway 01 also has deep ruts reported about 300 feet from the threshold where aircraft turn around for takeoff. Brush and trees are encroaching on all runway surfaces. No snow removal is provided on runway 10/28. There are no on-field FBOs listed. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement or call the airport operator before you go. A weather camera is available online for a current look at field conditions.
