About Kake Seaplane Base
Kake Seaplane Base is a public-use seaplane facility on the waterfront in Kake, a small community on Kupreanof Island in Southeast Alaska. It serves floatplane and air taxi traffic connecting Kake with other coastal communities in the region, while the nearby Kake Airport handles scheduled land-based flights.
Because Kake is reached primarily by air and sea, the seaplane base plays a practical role in local travel, supporting private aircraft, charters and regional air services. The water landing area lies within easy reach of the town, making it convenient for passengers arriving and departing by floatplane.
The base has no large passenger terminal, and operational details vary by operator. Kake is also served by the Alaska Marine Highway ferry system and local roads, allowing onward travel to Petersburg, Juneau, Sitka and other Southeast Alaska destinations.
With its sheltered harbor setting and direct waterfront location, Kake Seaplane Base functions as a simple gateway for travelers moving between Kake and the wider Alaska Panhandle.
