Bigfork Muni is in Bigfork, Minnesota. The field elevation is 1,351 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 15/33 is 3,998 ft long and paved with asphalt. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.
No ILS approaches are published here. The pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the traffic pattern at 2,351 ft MSL based on the field elevation. Check the current Chart Supplement before you go.
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. Published remarks also call out deer and waterfowl on and near the airport. That matters on takeoff and landing. There is also a 350-foot tower 2 NM south of the airport. Medium intensity runway lights on 15/33 are preset to low intensity from sunset to sunrise. Activity or a change in intensity is made on CTAF.
This is a non-towered field in a rural area. Plan for self-announced traffic and keep an eye out for wildlife. If you need clearance delivery, Minneapolis ARTCC is listed in the remarks at 651-463-5588.
