The pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the traffic pattern at about 1,955 ft MSL based on the listed field elevation, but verify the current published guidance before you fly.

There are no on-field FBOs listed. Plan on self-briefing the field and calling the airport operator or the FBO directly if you need current services before arrival. Published remarks matter here. Seaplane operations are prohibited between sunset and sunrise. Expect heavy boat traffic from Memorial Day through Labor Day. Do not block boat ramps. Docking areas are limited. This is a water runway, so traffic discipline on the lake matters just as much as your approach and departure planning.
