Lake County Airport sits in Leadville, Colorado at 9,933.5 ft MSL. It has one runway, 16/34, which is 6,400 ft long and paved with asphalt. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published here, so plan with that in mind before you arrive.
The published pattern altitude is not listed. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston aircraft unless the current Chart Supplement gives you something different. The field is high enough that density altitude will matter on warm days. Expect reduced climb performance and longer takeoff rolls.
Lake County Airport is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Call the FBO directly at (719) 486-0307 for current availability. The published remarks also note that runway 16 and 34 have active PAPI, with medium intensity runway lights controlled on CTAF. For after-hours service, prior permission is required.
There are a few surface and obstacle items to brief before landing. Taxiway C and the old ramp have potholes and loose aggregate. Runway 34 has 50 ft power lines 750 ft right of the threshold. H1 has trees near the pad, plus a lip and cracking on the concrete. This is a high-altitude field in mountain country, so give yourself extra margin and verify current details with the airport operator or the current FAA Chart Supplement.
