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. The airport sits in a mountain setting. Density altitude is a real factor here. Trees are in the approach area for runway 31. 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.
There are no on-field FBOs listed. Pilots should plan to be self-sufficient. The remarks also say to provide your own tiedown chains. The airport is closed from 1 October to 1 June except for public safety and law enforcement hops. For clearance delivery, contact Seattle ARTCC at 253-351-3694.
