Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the pattern at 1,003 ft MSL based on the field elevation.

The runway and ramp are open for public use. The surrounding property is private, so plan your arrival and ground movement carefully. There are no on-field FBOs listed.
