There is nearby Robe Lake L93 (south east of the airport) where floatplanes can dock. Do not be tempted by the “seaplane base” marked on the lake on some aeronautical charts, it will not be easy to arrange transportation. Use the dock at the SW corner of the lake near the road. You can call for a free shuttle at 907-255-4671 but cell service can be spotty. If you fly near the airport, contact the tower at 118.2 to advise them of your plans and they will send the shuttle.
