The approach paths also have notable obstacles. Runway 09 has a wooded hill on approach. Runway 27 has trees off the right side near the threshold. For a first-time arrival, treat this as a short-field planning airport with turf, displaced thresholds and limited marked runway length. Verify current conditions before departure, especially after rain or during soft-field season.
