About Tikchik Lodge Seaplane Base
Tikchik Lodge Seaplane Base is a private-use water landing area in southwest Alaska that serves Tikchik Narrows Lodge and the surrounding Wood-Tikchik State Park. Located in the Dillingham Census Area, the base has no road connection and is reached almost entirely by floatplane.
The landing area dates to 1967 according to FAA records, while Tikchik Narrows Lodge was established shortly afterward in 1969. It sits between Tikchik Lake and Nuyukuk Lake, within reach of Bristol Bay, Togiak National Wildlife Refuge and Katmai National Park.
The seaplane base operates a single water runway with no conventional terminal, control tower or instrument procedures. Permission is required before landing, and air taxi flights typically begin in Dillingham, the nearest regional hub about 100 kilometers to the south.
Because access is by floatplane only and the nearest road system is hundreds of miles away, travel centers on lodge and air taxi arrangements rather than public transport. This isolation makes KTH a quiet gateway for wilderness fishing, wildlife viewing and remote backcountry travel.
