Lowell Airport (C97) is in Lowell, Indiana. The field elevation is 671.8 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 18/36 is 3,041 ft of turf, so plan for soft-field technique and current surface conditions before you go. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. The published remarks also matter. Call for fuel or service before arrival at 219-613-4588. Clearance delivery is handled through Chicago ARTCC at 630-906-8921. There is a tree near the approach end of Runway 18. The approach slope is noted as 15 to 1 from the displaced threshold. Crops sit close to both sides of the runway. Deer are also reported on and near the airport.
There are no on-field FBOs listed in the facts. Contact the airport operator directly before arrival, or call the field on CTAF for current FBO availability. Traffic pattern operations are restricted to the west side of the north-south runway. That is the main thing a first-time pilot should brief before arrival. Expect a quiet non-towered field with turf, local traffic and a few operational notes that deserve attention on short final.
