Quinhagak Airport sits in Quinhagak, Alaska. Field elevation is 43.2 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 12/30 is 4,000 ft long and gravel. No tower is published here. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8.

No ILS approaches are published. 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 published runway headings are 134° magnetic for 12 and 314° magnetic for 30. The rotating beacon is activated on CTAF. Medium intensity runway lights on 12/30 are also activated on CTAF.

There are no on-field FBOs listed. Check with the airport operator or the field directly before arrival for current services. The Chart Supplement remarks also note large swells across the runway and heaves and dips along much of its length. That matters here. Plan for a rough surface and stay alert during rollout and takeoff. Runway 12 and runway 30 also have other marking types published, so verify the runway markings before you go in.
