Lowell City Airport (24C) sits in Lowell, Michigan at 681 ft MSL. It has three runways. The longest is 2,700 ft. This is a non-towered field, so use CTAF 123.0 for traffic calls and UNICOM 123.0 for airport coordination. No ILS approaches are published here. The pattern altitude is not published, so plan on the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise.

The field has one on-field FBO, Lowell City Airport. Fuel grades are not reported in the facts block, but 100LL is available 24 hours self service. Call the airport manager at (616) 987-0821 for details before you go. The runway mix is turf and asphalt. Runway 12/30 is asphalt. Runways 06/24 and 15/33 are turf. Published remarks note no snow removal on runway 06/24. Deer and large birds are also reported on and near the airport, so keep your scan active on arrival and departure.

There are several published obstacle notes. Runway 06 has tree clearance issues on the approach. Runway 12 has an obstruction that exceeds a 45 degree slope. Runway 30 also has close-in trees and a fence near the approach path. If you are new to the field, brief the displaced thresholds and use extra caution on the turf runways. The runway and displaced threshold on 06/24 are marked with 3 foot yellow cones. Low intensity lights on runway 12/30 are activated by using the CTAF.
