RWY 32

Belle Fourche Muni sits in Belle Fourche, South Dakota. Field elevation is 3,190.6 ft MSL. The airport has two runways. The longest is 14/32 at 4,501 ft asphalt. Runway 18/36 is 3,639 ft turf. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published here.

Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless local traffic or current guidance says otherwise. The field sits in a higher-elevation part of the Black Hills region, so performance planning matters on warm days. Published remarks also note waterfowl on and near the airport. Ultralight operations occur here too. That means a careful scan on base and final is smart.

Runway 14/32 has medium intensity lights that are activated by CTAF. Runway 18/36 is marked with white and black marker cones. There are no on-field FBOs listed in the facts. FBO options vary. Contact the airport operator directly before arrival, or call the field on CTAF/UNICOM for current FBO availability. For clearance delivery, contact Denver ARTCC at 303-651-4257. Pilots should also be aware of heavy traffic in the Mount Rushmore and Crazy Horse area at or below 7,500 ft. Monitor 122.85 for traffic advisories when operating in that area.
