Pattern altitude is not published, so verify the current Chart Supplement before you go. The field uses CTAF and UNICOM 122.8.

This is a lake operation, so plan for water traffic and recreational use on the lake. A visual inspection before landing is recommended. Buoys are seasonal. One buoy is placed about 200 feet from the most southern point of land on the southeast end of the lake. No east or west takeoffs or landings are permitted. The published recommendation is to depart to the south when weather allows. That matters here because the lake has specific operating limits near the shoreline and a marked run-up area at the northeast end.

There is no public dock and no public parking. A gravel public ramp is on the northeast shore. No winter maintenance is provided. A wind indicator is available at Willow Airport across the road. There are no on-field FBOs listed, so contact the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before arrival if you need current services.
