Kern Valley Airport sits in Kernville, California at 2,614 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 17/35 is 3,500 ft long and asphalt. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published for the field.
The published pattern altitude is not listed, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the light piston pattern at about 3,614 ft MSL. The field is in a mountain and lake setting, so expect terrain and density altitude to matter on warm days. The runway 35 end has rocks near the departure area that help with washout protection from the lake. The airport manager also reports a gross pavement strength estimate of 12,500 pounds.
There are no on-field FBOs listed. Check with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before arrival if you need fuel or services. Published remarks also say no night operations are permitted. The airport has a fly-in campground. For clearance delivery, contact Joshua Approach at 661-277-3843. If you are planning a first stop here, verify current procedures in the FAA Chart Supplement before you go.
