RWY 25

Cloquet/Carlton County Airport sits in Cloquet, Minnesota. The field elevation is 1,279.1 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is 4,002 ft on runway 18/36. There is no control tower. The pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.

No ILS approaches are published here. Runway 18 is the preferred calm wind runway. Runway 36 has an active omnidirectional approach lighting system. Runway end identifier lights, PAPI and medium intensity runway lights are installed on both 18/36 and 07/25. That helps at night. You still want to brief the field before arrival.

Venture North Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. 100LL is available 24 hours a day by self-serve with a credit card. For clearance delivery, contact Duluth Approach. The published remarks also call out noise abatement. Avoid overflying the school and office buildings 0.5 NM northwest of the departure end of runway 36. Wildlife is present on and near the airport, so keep that in mind on taxi and takeoff.
