Eagle Airport (EAA/PAEG) is a state-owned public-use airport serving Eagle, a remote historic Gold Rush town on the Yukon River in eastern Alaska. Located about one mile southwest of downtown, it has a single gravel runway and primarily supports general aviation, air taxis, and charter flights. The airport provides vital access to the Eagle area and nearby Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve, especially when road travel on the Taylor Highway is limited.
💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors know to bring cash, essential supplies, and insect repellent in summer; Eagle has very limited services, and the gravel runway can be rough on tires and props. Check for soft spots after rain and secure tie-downs for valley winds.

There is no public transit, taxi, or rideshare at Eagle Airport, so arrange a pickup with your lodge, guide, or air taxi before arrival. The town is about a mile away; in summer you may be able to walk or bike, but confirm road conditions. In winter and during road closures, air access is often the only practical way in or out.
