Stockton Lake is in Stockton, Missouri. The field elevation is 867 ft MSL. No runways are listed here, so this is a seaplane operating area rather than a conventional paved strip. No tower is published. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published.

Pattern altitude is not published. Use standard seaplane judgment and verify the current Chart Supplement before you go. The published remarks matter here. Seaplanes may not operate from sunset to sunrise. No buoys are showing the landing area. Trees and high ground are present in all quadrants. Debris can be on the lake or nearby during flooding. That makes a careful overflight important before any landing.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers office is the owner. Office hours are Monday through Friday from 0730 to 1600. For clearance delivery, contact Springfield Approach at 417-868-5620 or 417-868-5619. Mooring facilities are available at local boat marinas. Call for ice conditions in winter months. No on-field FBOs are listed, so verify current support with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before arrival.
