Stevens Ranch is in Ashland, Montana at 3,300 ft MSL. It has two turf runways. The longest is 2,268 ft on runway 15/33. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published.

The pattern altitude is not published, so use standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. For light piston traffic that puts you at 4,300 ft MSL. The field sits in terrain that deserves a close look. The remarks note rising terrain east of the airport. Runway 19 also has hills near the departure path. Runway 1/19 slopes about 3 ft from east to west on the north half of the runway. There are gopher holes on all runways, so expect a rough turf surface.

There are no on-field FBOs listed. Check with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before arrival if you need services. The airport manager can be reached at circlebarranch@rangeweb.net. The owner wants the airport charted. That is a good reminder to verify the current Chart Supplement before you go. Plan your arrival with the runway condition, terrain and the short turf lengths in mind.
