Big Foot Airfield sits in Walworth, Wisconsin. The field elevation is 948 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 18/36 is 2,114 ft of turf, so plan for a short-field surface with no paved option on site. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.
The published pattern altitude is 800 ft AGL, which is 1,748 ft MSL. No ILS approaches are published here, so if you are planning an instrument arrival, check the current FAA Chart Supplement for the latest approach options and any notes that affect your flight. The runway is not plowed in winter. Published remarks say the airport is open to ski-equipped aircraft only during those months. That is the main operational limiter for first-time visitors.
Low intensity runway lights are installed on 18/36. They can be controlled on 123.75. The runway is marked with yellow half barrels. The 18 threshold lights are set 45 feet south of the runway markers. There are no on-field FBOs listed, so contact the airport operator directly or the FBO directly by phone before arrival if you need services. Clearance delivery is handled through Chicago ARTCC at 630-906-8921 when needed.
