Clare Muni sits in Clare, Michigan. The field elevation is 856 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is 3,500 ft on runway 04/22. There is no control tower. Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
No ILS approaches are published here. Runway lighting is pilot controlled on CTAF. Runway end identifier lights and PAPI are on runways 04 and 22. Medium intensity runway lights are on both runways. The published remarks also note faded markings on all runway ends, so give yourself extra time on the roll and on the turnoff. Deer and large birds are reported on and near the airport. That matters here more than most places.
Clare Municipal Airport is on the field. It carries 100LL. Self-serve fuel is available 24 hours a day by credit card. If you need hangar space, call ahead to reserve it. For first-time arrivals, expect a non-towered field with Great Lakes Approach handling clearance delivery when available. Check the current Chart Supplement for any noise or curfew restrictions before flying in. If you are coming in at night or in lower visibility, verify the lighting setup and the latest airport remarks before departure.
