Buckhorn Camps (78B) is at Middle Jo-Mary Lake in the Norcross/Millinocket area of Maine. The field elevation is 500 ft MSL. No runways are listed in the current facts, so plan to verify the landing setup with the airport operator before you go. This is an untowered field. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published.
The pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL as the standard light-piston reference unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The airport sits in a lake and lodge setting, so water and shoreline hazards matter more than pavement markings here. Published remarks call out shallow rocky areas near the island west of the northwest/southeast sea lane. They also note many shallow rocks in the middle of the lake during low water. The docking area has shallow rocky areas too.
No on-field FBOs are listed. FBO options vary. Contact the airport operator directly before arrival, or call the field on CTAF/UNICOM for current FBO availability. Cell service is sporadic. For clearance delivery, contact Boston ARTCC at 603-879-6859. If you are new to the strip, verify the current Chart Supplement for any operational notes before departure. This is a remote water-access field, so a careful arrival plan matters more than a normal paved-airport brief.
