Remote Alaskan airstrip serving Dry Bay wilderness area.
Location
Yakutat, United States
Dry Bay Airport (ICAO: K3AK) is a small, remote airstrip located in the Dry Bay area of southeastern Alaska, near the mouth of the Alsek River. It serves as an access point for the Glacier Bay National Preserve and the surrounding wilderness, primarily used by small general aviation aircraft and bush pilots supporting outdoor recreation and wildlife activities.
The airport is situated in an extremely remote region of Alaska, with no road access to the broader highway network. It primarily serves hunters, anglers, and wilderness adventurers accessing the rich natural resources of the area, including brown bear hunting and salmon fishing. The facility is basic, with minimal infrastructure reflective of its remote location.
The airstrip is owned and maintained by the state of Alaska and falls under the jurisdiction of the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities. It plays a critical logistical role for those accessing the Dry Bay area, which would otherwise be largely inaccessible.
