Description
Welcome to Georgetown!
Georgetown is an unincorporated native village in the Alaskan Southwest region. It sits right on the banks of the Kuskokwim River, where George River meets the Kuskokwim.
It's located approx. 85nm south of McGrath, 135nm northeast of Bethel and 224nm west of Anchorage.
Georgetown is actually split in two by the Kuskokwim River, with parts of the settlement on both sides.

Besides some buildings, the rivers and endless wilderness,

Another great dirt strip in the wild. Unfortunately Asobo/MSFS builders concentrate on commercial style airports and ignore the different requirements for small GA and remote airstrips. (like traffic, streetlamps, cargo handlers, etc.!)

Yes, there are definitely workarounds I would gladly see gone.

Rusty Barge Airstrip, AA42, Alaska, USA
Explore the rustic charm of Rusty Barge Airstrip in Alaska, located between Juneau and Haines. This custom-built airstrip features a turf-gravel runway amidst a picturesque bay setting with a challenging approach. Immerse yourself in this secluded spot for a unique stopover experience in the wilderness of Alaska.

Nugget Creek Cabin, 4AA3, Alaska, USA
The privately owned cabin is located right at the bank of the Tsirku River roughly 30 miles west of Haines deep in the mountains. It's the last landing site before the Tsirku Glacier head further up the valley. If you want to get away from the crowds, enjoying untouched wilderness for miles and are into hunting and fishing this is the right spot for you - provided that you can handle its airstrip which is only roughly 545 feet long and not much wider than the wingspan of a Kitfox or Piper Cub.

Glacier Point Airstrip, 4AA5, Alaska, USA
Glacier Point is located approx. 22nm south of Skagway and 56nm north of Juneau. The closest settlement/town is Haines, which is located 8nm to the north across the Chilkat Inlet. Despite its remoteness, it's one of the most popular sightseeing sites in the Haines/Skagway area, due its easy access to the Davidson Glacier which terminates only 2nm to the west.

Takhin River Airstrip, 4AA4, Alaska, USA
This airstrip is an old half abandoned and partially overgrown airstrip on the right bank of the Takhin River in the Takhinsha Mountains. Half way between Haines and the Tsirku Glacier, it presumably once served as entry and drop off point for hunters, researchers and others who needed to access the wilderness. It has seen some recent interest and activity by some local bush pilots and hunters and has been cleared of the worst, however, this is a non-maintained and rarely used airstrip, so be cautious.
