Stehekin State Airport is in Stehekin, Washington. The field elevation is 1,230 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 13/31 is 2,630 ft long and turf. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published.

The published pattern altitude is not listed, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. On this field that puts the pattern near 2,230 ft MSL.

Runway 31 also has a rough surface and extends touchdown 300 feet past the threshold. Expect wildlife, people, vehicles and other activity near the runway. This is not a place to get casual on short final.
