Smiley Creek Airport is in Smiley Creek, Idaho. The field elevation is 7,206 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 14/32 is 4,900 ft long and turf. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published.
The traffic pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. The airport sits in a valley surrounded by high mountainous terrain. That matters here. Summer density altitude can be extreme. Performance planning should be conservative. No winter maintenance is provided.
Published remarks also call out obstructions near both runway ends. Runway 32 has a fence, berm, brush and a sprinkler valve near the centerline. Runway 14 has a fence, berm and a creek near the centerline. White rock boundary markers mark the runway edges and thresholds. The remarks recommend landing runway 14 and taking off runway 32 when wind allows. There are no on-field FBOs listed. Check with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone if you need current fuel or services before arrival. For clearance delivery, contact Salt Lake ARTCC at 801-320-2568.
