Tripp Creek sits near St Johns, Michigan. The field elevation is 717 ft MSL. No runways are listed in the facts block, so check the current FAA Chart Supplement and the airport operator before you plan a landing. This is an unattended field with no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published.

The pattern altitude is not published in the facts. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The published remarks matter here.

Runway and displaced threshold markings use 3 ft yellow cones.

Snow removal is irregular. Call the airport manager for field conditions before you go. Wildlife is also a factor here. Deer and birds are reported on and near the airport. For clearance delivery, contact Great Lakes Approach. If approach is closed, contact Cleveland ARTCC. With no on-field FBO listed, verify services directly with the airport operator before arrival.
