Johnson Creek (3U2) sits near Yellow Pine, Idaho. The field elevation is 4,960 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 17/35 is 3,400 ft of turf. An extra 100 ft is available for takeoff from the runway 35 end. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the pattern at about 5,960 ft MSL based on the listed field elevation. The published remarks matter here. Big game animals are a known hazard. Sprinklers may be on the runway. Terrain is close in. There is a ridge north of runway 17, plus trees and other obstructions near both ends. The airport also sits in mountain country, so density altitude, turbulence and mountain flying skill deserve attention.
No on-field FBOs are listed. Plan on self-sufficiency and verify current services with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before you go. The runway edges and thresholds are marked with white rock boundary markers. Published guidance recommends landing runway 17 and taking off runway 35 when wind allows. That is useful local advice for a first visit, especially with the terrain and obstacle picture here.
