Myrtle Creek Muni sits in Myrtle Creek, Oregon. Field elevation is 619 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 03/21 and it is 2,600 ft long on asphalt. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.7.

Pattern altitude is 981 ft AGL, which is 1,600 ft MSL. No ILS approaches are published here, so plan with that in mind if the weather is marginal. The runway lighting is pilot-controlled on 122.7. That includes medium intensity runway lights on 03 and 21, runway end identifier lights on 03 and PAPI on 03.

Terrain is a real factor here. Published remarks say terrain rises to 2,200 ft MSL within 2 miles on each side of the runway. There is also a lighted tower 1.3 NM north-northwest of the field at 2,122 ft MSL. For clearance delivery, Seattle ARTCC is listed at 253-351-3694. No on-field FBOs are listed. Verify services with the airport operator or call ahead before you go. A first-time pilot should treat this as a small non-towered field with nearby terrain. Pay close attention to departure planning, especially if ceilings are low or winds are pushing you toward the higher ground.
