Eureka Airport sits in Eureka, Nevada at 5,957.8 ft MSL. It has one runway, 18/36, which is 7,300 ft of asphalt. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.
The pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston traffic unless local procedures or current published data say otherwise. The field is in high country, so performance planning matters. This is also a cold temperature airport. Altitude correction is required at or below minus 17 degrees Celsius.
Eureka Airport is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Call (775) 237-6100 for current service details before you go. The airport has REILs, PAPI and high intensity runway lights on 18/36. The lights are controlled by CTAF from dusk to dawn. Increased intensity is available by radio call. Watch for unlighted power lines and poles near runway 18. They also penetrate the 20 to 1 approach surface for that runway.
If you need clearance delivery help and cannot reach Flight Service, the remarks direct pilots to Salt Lake ARTCC at 801-320-2568. The owner is County of Eureka. A pay phone is available on the field.
