This Idaho Division of Aeronautics airstrip is the state's gem of the north. Located next to Priest Lake, it has it all: Lush grass surface; campsites with tables, stoves, drinking water, toilets and showers; lodging, boating and swimming nearby; a caretaker and 3 courtesy cars that can be used (for a donation and gas tank fill up).

 

Caretaker is Austin Coe. As of 5/26/23, the Bathroom/shower facility is getting a significant makeover/ renovation which could take up to two months. Currently they have a one stall outdoor shower with a propane waterless 10 gal water heater.

Be aware of geese and other wildlife on runway.
