RWY 31

Forest Lake Airport sits in Forest Lake, Minnesota. The field elevation is 929.5 ft MSL. It has one runway, 13/31, at 2,700 ft of asphalt. This is a non-towered field. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.7. No ILS approaches are published here.

Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL as the standard light-piston pattern unless the current Chart Supplement or local guidance says otherwise. The published remarks matter here. Runway 31 has brush near the departure end. There is also a steep drop in terrain along the northeast side of the runway. The ramp has been relocated outside the approach slope to runway 13. That is worth keeping in mind on arrival and departure.

Forest Lake Airport has one on-field FBO. Forest Lake Airport carries AVGAS 100LL. Self-serve fuel is available 24 hours with credit card. For clearance delivery, the published contact is Minneapolis Approach. If you are planning a night arrival, the runway lights are preset low from sunset to sunrise. Use CTAF to increase intensity and to activate PAPI and REIL for runways 13 and 31. Calm wind favors runway 13. Check the current Chart Supplement for any additional local notes before you go.
