Bear Trap Airport sits near Minidoka, Idaho. Field elevation is 4,716 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 06/24, which is 2,250 ft long and surfaced turf-dirt. The runway headings are 70° and 250° magnetic. No control tower is on site. CTAF is 122.9.

There are no on-field FBOs listed. Check with the airport operator or call the field directly before arrival if you need local services. Published remarks say runway 24 edges and thresholds are marked with white rock boundary markers. They also note no winter maintenance. They note no line of sight between runway ends. Ongoing damage risk from livestock, ground vehicles and rodents is also published. For clearance delivery, contact Salt Lake ARTCC at 801-320-2568.
