Online Reviews Summary

May Creek Airport (MYK) is a remote, unattended public airport in Alaska, primarily serving general aviation. Traveler reviews, specifically from commercial passengers, are non-existent due to the airport's minimal facilities and operational nature. Instead, experiences largely reflect those of private pilots and individuals utilizing the area for recreational purposes like camping.

What Travelers Love
  • Smooth Runway Conditions: When dry, the turf/gravel runway has been described as very smooth by pilots.
  • Access to Public Cabin: A public cabin located up a nearby trail is highlighted as a very nice amenity for campers, offering comfortable sleeping arrangements.
  • Remote Camping Opportunities: The area is appreciated for family camping, with comments noting the cabin is almost brand new and well-sealed against insects.
Common Complaints
  • No Services or Amenities: The airport is unattended and offers no services whatsoever, including no fuel, lighting, or repair facilities.
  • Unmonitored Runway Conditions: The runway condition is not monitored, and visual inspection prior to landing is recommended. Grass can be up to 1 ft high during summer months, and loose rocks up to 2 inches may be present.
  • Non-Standard Runway Markings and Obstructions: Runway markings are non-standard, with thresholds marked by cones and faded panels. Obstructions include trees along the centerline and a mountain 3 miles from the threshold.
  • No Security or Customs: As a small, unattended airport, there are no security checkpoints, customs, or immigration services.

May Creek Airport caters to a very specific type of aviator and outdoor enthusiast seeking a remote Alaskan experience. While it offers a serviceable landing strip and access to a public cabin for those prepared for a rustic adventure, it lacks any conventional airport facilities, amenities, or services found at larger commercial hubs.
