Round Lake Airport sits in Round Lake, New York. Field elevation is 178 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 14/32, which is 1,927 ft of turf. The longest runway is 1,927 ft. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published.

Pattern altitude is not published. For light piston traffic, use 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement or local guidance says otherwise. Runway 14/32 has 80-foot trees right and left of centerline in the primary surface. That matters on short final and in the climb out. The runway is also soft during spring from March through June. Military helicopters and ultralights use the runway. The airport is closed to itinerant aircraft from November through May, so check access before you plan a stop.

There are no on-field FBOs listed. Contact the airport manager directly at (518) 527-2996 before arrival. For clearance delivery, call Albany Approach at 518-862-2299. Access to the airport from the lake is overgrown, so seaplane arrival needs a call ahead. This is a small turf field with limited services, so verify current conditions before you go.
