Sandy River Airport sits in Sandy, Oregon at 704 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 08/26 is 2,115 ft of turf, so this is a short-field, grass-strip arrival rather than a paved-airport setup. The field is not towered. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published. The published pattern altitude is not listed, so verify the current Chart Supplement before you go. For ultralight traffic, the published pattern is right traffic at 600 ft AGL.
The runway is not marked. That matters here. Published remarks also call out a 60 ft tree near the 08 threshold, more trees close to the runway edges and a concrete block near the 08 end. Runway 26 has a fence 36 ft right of centerline near the edge. Large trees are in the area. Runway lights only delineate 70 ft of runway width. Prior permission is required for light activation code. Plan on getting current access details from the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before night use.
There are no on-field FBOs listed. Contact the airport operator directly before arrival. Call the field on CTAF/UNICOM for current FBO availability. Portland Approach can help with clearance delivery at 503-493-7545. Expect a busy ultralight environment and keep a close eye on the terrain and obstructions on short final.
