Secluded Lake Airport (49AK) is a small backcountry airstrip in the Talkeetna area of south-central Alaska, roughly 20 miles south of the town of Talkeetna. It offers a single short dirt runway set among Alaska's lake country, the kind of remote strip that appeals to sim pilots keen on bush-flying scenarios.
Secluded Lake Airport is a small, remote airstrip in the Talkeetna region of Alaska, sitting at an elevation of 299 feet. With a single short dirt runway and no published communications or navigation aids, it typifies the many informal backcountry strips scattered across the Alaskan interior, making it an appealing waypoint for sim pilots wanting an authentic bush-flying experience away from controlled airspace and busy circuits.
The airfield lies in uncontrolled airspace typical of rural Alaska, about 20 miles south of the town of Talkeetna. There is no tower and no published controlled airspace in the immediate vicinity; traffic in the area falls under the general oversight of Anchorage-region air traffic services rather than any local control.
Secluded Lake Airport has a single physical runway, 07/25, 2605 feet long with a dirt surface. There is no runway lighting and no ILS.
No communications frequencies are published for Secluded Lake Airport, and there are no navaids or instrument approach procedures associated with the field. Pilots operating here should rely on see-and-avoid procedures and standard uncontrolled-field practice.
The airfield's position roughly 20 miles south of Talkeetna serves as the primary reference for locating it, with the town itself acting as a useful landmark for inbound pilots navigating the surrounding lake-dotted terrain.
Secluded Lake Airport remains a small, lightly developed airstrip with no published fuel or ground services. Its short dirt runway and lack of communications infrastructure mean it is best suited to pilots experienced with remote Alaskan strip operations.
