Woodruff Lake Airport sits in Winn, Michigan. The field elevation is 938 ft MSL. It has one runway, 09/27 and the longest runway is 3,700 ft of turf. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.
No ILS approaches are published here. The pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. Runway 09/27 uses magnetic headings of 88° and 268°. The airport is a simple turf strip, so plan for soft-field technique. Check the runway condition before you go. Runway 09/27 is closed when snow covered. Check NOTAMs before departure.
There are no on-field FBOs listed. Contact the airport operator directly or call the field on CTAF for current services. Published remarks also note low-intensity runway lights on 09/27. The lights are activated by clicking the CTAF three times. For clearance delivery, Great Lakes Approach is listed when open. Chicago ARTCC is the backup when Great Lakes Approach is closed. There are obstacles near both approach ends, so a careful stabilized approach matters here. UAS operations occur south of the runway.
