North Pickens is in Reform, Alabama. The field elevation is 236.8 ft MSL. It has one runway, 01/19, which is 5,144 ft long and asphalt. There is no control tower.

No ILS approaches are published here. CTAF is 122.9. Approach and departure service is handled by Columbus on 135.6 and 323.275. For clearance delivery, the Chart Supplement lists Memphis ARTCC. The airport beacon is out of service, so plan your arrival and departure lighting with that in mind.
