Seeley Lake Airport sits in Seeley Lake, Montana. Field elevation is 4,256 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 16/34 is 4,575 ft long and turf. No tower is published here. CTAF is 122.9.
No ILS approaches are published. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the traffic pattern at 5,256 ft MSL based on the field elevation. The field sits in mountain country. Takeoffs to the north are not recommended because of rising terrain. Trees are also in the transitional surface along the full runway length on both sides.
Published remarks matter here. Runway 16 has a displaced threshold 311 ft from the end. Runway 34 has 1,150 ft of overrun available for takeoff and landing. Summer markings and solar lights are published for parts of the runway. Snow removal is intermittent. Call the airport manager for current conditions before you go. Birds and wildlife are also reported on and near the airport. Crew car service is available. No on-field FBOs are listed, so verify services with the airport operator before arrival.
