Mark Reynolds/North Mobile County Airport is in Creola, Alabama. Field elevation is 8 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 03/21 is 2,000 ft of turf, which makes this a short-field stop for light aircraft. No ILS approaches are published. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.

This field is not towered. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. Published remarks say the airport is for VFR use only. Daytime operations only apply here. There are no runway lights and no beacon lights. That matters if you are planning a late arrival. The runway edge and threshold are marked with frangible PVC pipes. Runway 03/21 also has nonstandard low intensity runway lights. The field is still listed as out of service indefinitely.

No on-field FBOs are listed. Plan on coordinating directly with the airport operator before you go. For clearance delivery, contact Mobile Approach at 251-662-6236. If approach is closed, use Houston ARTCC at 281-230-5622. The airport manager number listed in the remarks is 251-689-9263. With a turf runway, short length and no published instrument approach, this is a good field to treat as a fair-weather VFR stop only.
