Houghton Lake State Airport sits in Houghton Lake Heights, Michigan. Field elevation is 1,165 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 16/34 is 2,750 ft of turf. That is the longest runway on the field. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless local guidance says otherwise. That puts the pattern at 2,165 ft MSL based on the field elevation. The published remarks matter here. Both runway ends have marked displaced thresholds with cone markings. The approach paths also have obstruction notes, including trees near Runway 34 and a steep obstruction profile on Runway 16. Pilots must support ropes. Snow removal is irregular, so check conditions before you go. Deer and large birds are reported on and near the airport.
There are no on-field FBOs listed in the facts. Contact the airport manager at 616-540-1324 for field condition updates. For clearance delivery, contact Minneapolis ARTCC at 651-463-5588. This is a turf strip with published obstruction notes, so a first-time pilot should plan a careful look at runway condition, threshold markings and wind before committing.
