Lake Hood - Lets take a walk
Ойын-сауық
This is a very simple video, viewed best on a big screen, of my walk around the largest float plane base in the world, Lake Hood. Actually, its Spenard Lake and Lake Hood, connected by a channel. So many have heard of this amazing place, yet so few have really been here. This is bush plane mecca and your gateway to Alaska!
I grew up here and if your passionate about aviation, there is simply no place like it anywhere. Its 100% aviation!
I am on my way to Cordova to my heli ski operation, Points North Heli, but the hour or so I had here, a walk around the lake is always a must!
Next time you're in Anchorage, make certain to stay at the Lake Front hotel and go for a walk around the lake. You will be glad you did. You can thank me later.
Leave me a comment, maybe subscribe, hit that little bell for notifications and I hope that this inspires you too go flying!

hey Kevin I was so nice to see you walk around the Lake Hood airport you walked right by our sons 185, thanks for the tour.
I absolutely love this style of video! All of the eye candy doesn’t hurt either.
Very nice. The walk of planes. I need to fly up there so that one Cherokee doesn’t feel so alone.
Holy smoke, so many aeroplanes. I just had a look on Google Maps. I wont bother counting..... 100's 15:46 Oh that 1955 DEHAVILLAND is just gorgeous.
thanks for the tour Kevin never knew such a special place existed your enthusiasm is infectious
From Canada that is so cool Kevin showing us places when u were a kid much appreciated!
Very few are better to get a walking tour of Lake Hood and Spenard than from this guy who grew up next to them!
Wow soo many aircrafts
Gezz Kevin now that's MY KINDA HOOD no wonder you turned out the way you did "Growing up in The HOOD, NICE NICE Birds there!
Enjoyed, been there several times. Thanks for the tour.
Cool Kevin, thanks.
Every fricking 180 and 185 Cessna ever made must be in Alaska, Darn!!!!
Nice walk and great video. My cuzin lives by there and I told about the live channel the on the base. So I said why don't you go there and call me and I'll see ya on the cam live.. so we did that with me here in clearwater Fl filming her from off my big screen and her waving and filming at the live cam back. Ah the wonders of YT. It really is a busy place and planes everywhere. I was up there about upteen yrs ago and loved it.
Right when I think you could t get any cooler, you share this secret reality and scratch out a destination a future pilot can strive to fly into, and prove even cooler once more.
Thank You for sharing
Most enjoyable tour Kevin - that's a really huge area and can well imagine how it brings back many memories. Loads of planes.
When I go to Alaska, going for a tour around Lake Hood is the first thing I'm gonna do :D
that was really fun thanks
Thanks for the walk Kevin! I got all my ratings in Anchorage and my SES on the lakes. It was good to see it again!
it's interesting to see it like this, I work up there in the summers. Usually by the time I get there it's thriving.
Very cool, done that same walk love all the bush planes your the best !
I love it here in Anchorage. Just moved up from the lower 48 4th of July. I frequent the lake on the weekends and watch all the action. Been wanting to get into aviation for years. Thanks for posting!!
So fun to see this. I lived in Anchorage 60 years, had two businesses at the airport and miss the beauty. Thanks for this
Impressive camera work.
I loved it !!
Cool thanks man! 👊🏻
Will be there in a few weeks.
Great video. Always a good walk when staying at the Lakefront/Millennium, Millennium Lakefront??? Check out the McKinley Suite! Room for lots of friends...
It’s called the lake front. By millennium or something. I call it the millennium but it’s the Lake Front Hotel. The Fancy Moose Lounge is inside. Great sweet and sour Halibut and Gwennies is just down the road for breakfast. 👍
Thanks for the tour. I can’t go through Anchorage without walking or driving around the lake. Didn’t know you had the privilege of growing up there.
Thanks for the tour! I can definitely see how you got the aviation bug as a young kid. I attend a trade show in Anchorage every February, so I always make it a point to drive around Lake Hood and go for a flight when possible. Now I just need to get up there during the summer!
Been there, done that, got some similar pictures, but I also got a float plane rating in my pilots license. Pretty laid back place but care is needed. In some areas the roads do double duty as taxi-ways and aircraft always have priority.
Lakefront, Millennium, Regal Alaska, Clarion ... in reverse order. You look old enough to remember them all.
The Lakefront Anchorage :)
Thank you for sharing! love seeing real neighborhoods in different places
Hope to see you at MayDay STOL.
My favorite place to go look at planes. Can’t swing a purse without hitting a Skywagon. Be up there in 3 weeks for the gathering in Palmer
was just here last week looking at a couple cubs
I love the planes. What month is this? I would like to see it a Christmas. Excellent vlog. Thanks

Nothing like snowbanks, sand and salt plowed right up onto your aluminum airplane and floats.
Do you think heaven looks somewhat like that?

The Lake was contaminated back when you were swimming in it.
