Tensas Parish Airport sits in St Joseph, Louisiana. Field elevation is 74.2 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 16/34, which is 3,509 ft asphalt. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.

No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current Chart Supplement or local procedures say otherwise. The runway lights on 16/34 are medium intensity lights that come up at low intensity by default. Use the CTAF to increase intensity. That matters after sunset or in low visibility.

Published remarks also note birds in the area. The windsock is temporarily out of service, so do not rely on it alone for the wind picture. Clearance delivery is handled through Memphis ARTCC at the published phone numbers. If you need ramp space for public use, contact the airport manager first. There are no on-field FBOs listed, so verify fuel and service availability with the airport operator or by calling the field before arrival. For traffic pattern work, use the west side of the runway at St Joseph Municipal. If you are operating nearby at Hunter May Airport, pattern traffic is on the east side of the runway.
