Alkali Lake State Airport sits in Alkali Lake, Oregon at 4,312 ft MSL. This is a non-towered field with no published runways listed in the facts, so check the current FAA Chart Supplement before you plan any arrival or departure. No ILS approaches are published here. The CTAF is 122.9.

The published pattern altitude is not listed, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. At this elevation, performance planning matters. Density altitude can be a factor in warm weather. The field also has a note that livestock are frequently on the runway. That is a real operational issue here. Surface conditions are not reported either, so a preflight call to the airport operator or a careful look from the air is smart.

There are no on-field FBOs listed. For clearance delivery, contact Seattle ARTCC at 253-351-3694. The windsock is midfield on the west side. The airport was established prior to 1959. With no tower and no published runway data in the facts, verify the current Chart Supplement before you go.
