Three Forks Airport is in Three Forks, Montana. The field elevation is 4,089.4 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 03/21 is 5,099 ft long and asphalt. There are no published ILS approaches here. The airport is not towered. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8.
The pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. The airport has runway end identifier lights, precision approach path indicators and medium intensity runway lights on 03/21. Fuel is available from Headwaters Flying Service. It carries 100LL. The remarks also note 24-hour credit card fuel service. For clearance delivery, pilots are told to contact Big Sky Approach, or Salt Lake ARTCC if needed.
First-time visitors should pay attention to the elevation. Density altitude can be a factor, especially on warm days. The remarks also call out occasional aerobatic activity near the airport and ultralight activity on and near the field. After departure, aircraft must reach 500 ft before making any turns. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any other local procedures before you go.
