CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. 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 Chart Supplement says otherwise.
Dalton Airport Association is the on-field FBO. It carries 100LL. Fuel is available by credit card. Published remarks also note deer and large birds in the area. Runway 09/27 is closed from October through March. Low intensity lights on 18/36 are activated by CTAF. The field has a few obstruction notes near the approaches, so plan your arrival with some margin and review the current Chart Supplement before you go.
