RWY 24

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.

No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. At this elevation, density altitude can be a real factor on warm days. Plan performance with that in mind.

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. This is a small, non-towered field with a rough-surface runway, so a careful preflight and a good look at the surface before landing make sense.
