LEADERS CLEAR LAKE is in Clear Lake, Minnesota. The field elevation is 990 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 18/36 is 3,000 ft long with an asphalt-turf surface. The airport is not towered. CTAF is 122.9.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The published remarks matter here. Runway 18/36 is uneven and rough, with loose gravel and several bare spots along the centerline. Yellow cones mark the runways and displaced thresholds. Runway 18 has trees near the departure end. Runway 36 also has trees near the approach end. That makes a careful look at takeoff and landing performance important, especially in a light aircraft.
There are no on-field FBOs listed. Contact the airport operator directly before arrival, or call the field on CTAF for current fuel and service availability. For clearance delivery, contact Minneapolis ARTCC at 651-463-5588. This is a non-towered field in open country, so expect self-announce traffic and keep a close eye out for surface condition issues on rollout and takeoff.
