Mahnomen County Airport (3N8) sits in Mahnomen, Minnesota. Field elevation is 1,245.5 ft MSL. The airport has two runways. The longest is 17/35 at 3,400 ft on asphalt. Runway 09/27 is 2,720 ft on turf. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the light piston pattern at about 2,245.5 ft MSL based on the field elevation. Runway 17/35 has PAPI, REIL activity and medium intensity runway lights that are controlled by CTAF. Those lights are preset to low intensity.
There is no on-field FBO listed. 100LL is available 24 hours a day through self-service credit card fueling. Ultralight traffic is on and in the vicinity of the airport. Keep a sharp scan in the pattern and on taxi. Runway 09/27 is not plowed in winter. Runway 09 and runway 27 are marked with yellow cones. For clearance delivery, contact Minneapolis ARTCC. If you need current local coordination, call the airport manager or sheriff using the numbers in the Chart Supplement.
