Ugashik Bay Airport is a small, remote public-use airfield near Ugashik Bay in Alaska's Lake and Peninsula Borough, serving the village of Pilot Point. Owned by the Bureau of Land Management, it is a lightly used general aviation strip that also receives scheduled bush service, making it a straightforward but genuinely off-the-beaten-track VFR destination for simulator pilots exploring the Alaska Peninsula.
Ugashik Bay Airport is a public-use airfield situated near Ugashik Bay on the Alaska Peninsula, serving the small community of Pilot Point. It is owned by the Bureau of Land Management and handles only light general aviation traffic alongside a scheduled air-taxi service, giving it the character of a genuine Alaskan bush strip rather than a busy regional field.
The airport lies about 11 nautical miles south-southwest of the central business district of Pilot Point, near Ugashik Bay, within the Lake and Peninsula Borough of Alaska. No controlled airspace or neighbouring aerodromes are noted in connection with the field; it sits in the sparsely populated coastal terrain typical of this part of the Alaska Peninsula.
The airfield has a single physical runway, 12/30, 5,388 feet long with a hard surface. No lighting or instrument landing system is associated with the runway.
No communications frequencies are published for Ugashik Bay Airport, and there is no indication of an air-ground or air traffic control service, navaids, or instrument approach procedures. Pilots should expect to operate on a self-announce basis typical of uncontrolled Alaskan airstrips.
Ugashik Bay itself, immediately adjacent to the field, is the principal visual landmark for locating the airport, along with the coastline of the Alaska Peninsula in this area.
The airport is owned by the Bureau of Land Management and exists primarily to serve the community of Pilot Point, located some 11 nautical miles to the north-northeast. For the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2005, the field recorded 50 aircraft operations, averaging four per month, all of which were general aviation movements.
Current activity remains light, consistent with the low operation counts recorded historically, and the field is used for general aviation. Grant Aviation has offered scheduled passenger service linking Ugashik Bay with Chignik Lake, Egegik, King Salmon, and Pilot Point. No fuel availability, operating hours, or prior-permission requirement are indicated.
