Jack Browns (F57) is in Winter Haven, Florida. The field elevation is 140 ft MSL. It has one runway. The longest is 3,600 ft on water, runway 01W/19W. This is a non-towered seaplane base, so expect self-announce traffic on CTAF 123.05. The published remarks say VFR operations only. They also note that clearance delivery is handled through Tampa Approach at 813-878-2528.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The remarks also say the runway ends 01 and 19 are unmarked. That matters on a water runway, so brief your departure and landing plan before you get close.
Jack Brown's Seaplane Base is on the field. It carries AVGAS 100LL. Contact the FBO directly at (863) 956-2243 for current service details. The remarks also mention a taxiway to Winter Haven Regional Airport and local boat activity, so keep a sharp lookout for traffic in the area. A recommended north-south pattern is published to stay clear of and below 900 ft traffic at Winter Haven Regional Airport. Check the current Chart Supplement before you go for any updates.
