Lake County Airport sits in Lakeview, Oregon. The field elevation is 4,734.1 ft MSL. It has one runway, 17/35, which is 5,318 ft long and asphalt. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. At this elevation, density altitude can be a real factor on warm days. The airport also carries a cold temperature note. Altitude correction is required at or below minus 26 degrees Celsius.
Lake County Airport is on field with Lake County Airport FBO. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Call (541) 947-4222 for current service details before you go. Published remarks also note medium intensity runway lights on 17/35 that are activated by CTAF. PAPI is installed on both runway ends. REIL is installed on both runway ends. Tetrahedron lighting is inoperative.
A few local items matter here. Strong crosswind landings may use the northeast and southwest taxiways. There is a drag strip about 3,000 ft southwest of runway 35. Glider operations may occur on taxiways. Wildlife is present on and near the airport. Large waterfowl are reported from November through May. Fire season can bring heavy airtanker traffic, so expect a busy pattern when that is active.
