Control tower: Non-towered (use CTAF)
Total runways: 1
Longest runway: 16/34 · 2,800 ft

Rockford Muni sits in Rockford, Idaho at 4,465 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 16/34 is 2,800 ft long with an asphalt surface. The field is not towered. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.

Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the light piston pattern about 5,465 ft MSL. The airport sits in high terrain country, so density altitude will matter on warm days. Expect takeoff and climb performance to be a real planning item.

There are no on-field FBOs listed in the facts. Verify services with the airport operator or call the field directly before arrival. Published remarks matter here. Railroad box cars are often parked on the extended centerline for runway 16. There are also fences, roads, trees and a railroad near both runway ends. Runway 34 has a fence at the threshold area plus trees and a power line farther out. Runway 16 has a fence, roads and another railroad hazard on departure. For clearance delivery, contact Salt Lake ARTCC at 801-320-2568. Check the current Chart Supplement before you go for any updated operational notes.
