Marksville Muni sits in Marksville, Louisiana. Field elevation is 78.3 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 04/22, at 3,799 ft. There is no control tower. No ILS approaches are published. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
The on-field FBO is Marksville Municipal Airport. It carries AVGAS 100LL. Fuel is available 24 hours a day with credit card. Call the airport operator or the FBO directly if you need ramp space. The Chart Supplement remarks also note that the northeast apron has a nonstandard holding position and failed pavement. That is worth checking before you taxi in.
For radio work, CTAF is 122.9. Marksville Approach uses 125.4 and 302.2 for clearance and approach or departure work. Runway end identifier lights are active on 04 and 22. The medium intensity runway lights on 04/22 start at low intensity. Use CTAF to increase them if needed. Aerial spraying is reported in the area, so keep a sharp scan on departure and arrival. This is a small non-towered field with light traffic flow. The apron and lighting notes matter the first time you visit.
