Taku Lodge (PFTK) sits in Taku Lodge, Alaska at field elevation 0 ft MSL. This is a non-towered seaplane base with no runways listed. No ILS approaches are published. CTAF and UNICOM are both 123.05. Pattern altitude is not published, so verify the current Chart Supplement before you go. The published remarks matter here. Mountains are northwest and southeast. The area is shallow at low tide, so a river channel landing is recommended. Summer operations only. Public dock and safe shoreline access are not available. Otters also use the lodge float arrival and departure areas at 15-minute intervals. Plan for traffic on the water. No on-field FBOs are listed. If you need current handling or fuel details, contact the airport operator directly or call the FBO directly by phone. The manager phone number in the Chart Supplement is 907-957-1543. With the terrain, tide and float traffic, this is a place to brief the arrival carefully before you launch.
