Medium intensity runway lights are on both ends. They are controlled by CTAF. Published remarks also note faded runway markings on both 09 and 27.

There are no on-field FBOs listed. For aviation gasoline, the published remarks give a phone number to call. For flight information services, contact the airport manager.
