KEKN is in Elkins, West Virginia. The field elevation is 1,987.2 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is runway 14/32 at 4,544 ft. There is no control tower. CTAF is 123.6. Approach control is handled by Clarksburg on 121.15 or 284.65.
The airport has one ILS approach. Published pattern altitude is 1,013 ft AGL, which is 3,000.2 ft MSL. That matters here because the field sits high enough that density altitude can bite in warm weather. The published remarks also call this a cold temperature airport. Altitude correction is required at or below minus 19 degrees Celsius.
The on-field FBO is Elkins-Randolph County Regional Airport. It carries AVGAS 100LL, JET A and JET A Prist. If you need after-hours service, call the airport manager during business hours. Be ready for a few local quirks. Runway 14 and runway 32 markings are faded. Runway 23 has REILs. There are obstructions near both ends, including trees near runway 05 and a tall antenna near the runway 05 approach. Uncontrolled vehicles also cross the runway 32 threshold. Keep your scan active on the ground and on short final.
