Meyers Chuck Seaplane Base (WMK)

Meyers Chuck Seaplane Base is a small public-use seaplane base serving the remote waterfront settlement of Meyers Chuck on Clarence Strait in Southeast Alaska. Located on the northwest tip of the Cleveland Peninsula, the base is owned and operated by the City and Borough of Wrangell and provides essential float plane access to a community with no road connection.

The base was activated in 1962 and features a single water runway oriented northwest to southeast, used by float planes arriving and departing from the protected landing area. There is no passenger terminal, control tower, or on-site fuel service; operations center on a seaplane float and the nearby shore.

Meyers Chuck is about 40 miles northwest of Ketchikan, and the seaplane base is reachable only by float plane or boat. Scheduled and chartered float plane services link the community with Ketchikan and other Southeast Alaska destinations, making the base a key gateway for residents, visitors, and supplies.

Travelers should expect a simple, informal experience suited to a remote Southeast Alaska settlement. Passengers typically coordinate directly with their float plane operator, bring necessary items, and continue from the base by boat or on foot within the small community.
