Central County Airport sits in Iola, Wisconsin. Field elevation is 882 ft MSL. This is a small turf field with three runways. The longest is runway 05/23 at 2,493 ft. 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 for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The airport sits in a rural area. Deer are reported on and near the field. That matters here more than at a busy paved airport. Runway 09 is marked with orange cones. Published obstacles also exceed a 45 degree slope near runway 09. Obstacles exceed a 45 degree slope near runway 12 as well.

There are no on-field FBOs listed. Plan on confirming services with the airport operator before you go. Clearance delivery is handled through Minneapolis ARTCC at 651-463-5588. The airport is closed to wheeled aircraft when the runways are covered with snow or ice. Camping is available. If you are new to the field, treat the turf condition, deer activity and winter surface condition as the main operational items to check before departure.
