Indian Creek USFS sits in Indian Creek, Idaho. The field elevation is 4,718 ft MSL. It has one runway, 04/22, which is 4,650 ft long and dirt. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the light piston pattern at 5,718 ft MSL. The airport has no on-field FBOs listed. Plan on self-sufficiency for fuel, services and ground support.
The published remarks matter here. There is no winter maintenance. Trees are close to both ends of the runway. Runway 04 has a fence near the approach and more trees on the left side. Runway 22 has a dogleg on final because of tall trees near the centerline. The Forest Service also advises staying in the main canyon when departing up or down stream. Do not try to climb outside the canyon. Clearance delivery is handled through Salt Lake ARTCC. This is a high-elevation backcountry strip with terrain and obstruction issues. Get current conditions before you go. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any updated remarks or restrictions before flying in.
