Moose Creek /USFS/ (1U1) sits at the Moose Creek Ranger Station in Idaho. Field elevation is 2,454 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 01/19, which is 4,100 ft of turf. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published.

Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. The field is in a mountain setting. Expect terrain, trees and wildlife to matter more here than at a typical valley strip. Big game animals are reported on and near the airport.

Published remarks say runway conditions can change, so call 208-983-9677 before you go. Runway 01/19 may not be mowed to full width. It can be muddy in spring and winter. No winter maintenance is provided. Temporary closures are possible. There are trees near both runway ends, with the more serious notes on runway 19 and runway 01. Arrivals use runway 04 and departures use runway 22 on the crosswind strip. Use caution because a go-around is not recommended there. If you need clearance delivery, contact Salt Lake ARTCC at 801-320-2568. No on-field FBOs are listed.
