RWY 34

Wadena Muni is in Wadena, Minnesota. The field elevation is 1,368 ft MSL. It has two runways. The longest is runway 16/34 at 4,007 ft of asphalt. Runway 03/21 is 2,100 ft of turf. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8.

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 non-towered environment, so expect self-announced traffic and stay sharp on the CTAF.

The on-field FBO is Wadena Municipal Airport. It carries 100LL. 100LL is available 24 hours a day by credit card. Published remarks also note runway 16 and 34 have medium intensity lights controlled by CTAF. PAPI is installed on those same runways. Runway end identifier lights can be activated or increased in intensity on 16 and 34. That helps for night work, but you should still verify the lighting setup before a late arrival.

The airport manager can be reached at cityadmin@wadena.org. Ground communication outlet service is available on 121.725 through Minneapolis Center and flight services. If you need clearance delivery and the ground outlet is not available, contact Minneapolis Center at 651-463-5588.
