Eureka Muni sits in Eureka, South Dakota. The field elevation is 1,935 ft MSL. It has two runways. The longest is runway 12/30 at 3,100 ft asphalt. Runway 07/25 is 1,821 ft turf. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.

Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the traffic pattern at 2,935 ft MSL based on the listed field elevation. Runway 07 and 25 are marked with white black-tipped marker cones. Runway 12 and 30 have PAPI. They also have medium intensity runway lights that are activated by CTAF. Wildlife is reported on and near the airport, so keep a sharp scan on taxi, takeoff and landing. For clearance delivery, contact Minneapolis ARTCC at 651-463-5588. No on-field FBOs are listed, so verify fuel and services with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before you go.
