Gravelly Valley Airport sits near Upper Lake, California. Field elevation is 1,900 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 01/19 is 4,050 ft long and gravel. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is 800 ft AGL, which is 2,700 ft MSL. The runway is unpaved, so expect ruts and large rocks. The runway was graded in July 2025, but it is still a backcountry surface that deserves a careful walk-around and a conservative landing plan. The runway sits between parallel dirt roads. Do not land south of Hull Mountain Road. No takeoff is permitted on runway 01 because of a hill northeast of the airport.
Published remarks also call out hang glider activity, especially in summer, plus occasional wildlife on the runway. The threshold of runway 01 is marked with white tires. Runway 19 is also marked with white tires. The airport manager is the district ranger. Contact the Upper Lake Ranger District in Upper Lake for current field status and local coordination. With no on-field FBOs listed, plan to verify services directly before you go.
