RWY 32

Shell Lake Muni is in Shell Lake, Wisconsin. The field elevation is 1,233.3 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 14/32 is 3,711 ft of asphalt, so plan performance with that length in mind. 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 operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the traffic pattern at about 2,233 ft MSL based on the field elevation, but verify before you go.

The published remarks matter here. Runway lights on 14/32 are preset to low from sunset to sunrise. Use CTAF to increase intensity and to activate the runway end identifier lights for runway 32. Precision approach path indicators are installed on runways 14 and 32. Birds are reported on and near the airport, so keep a sharp scan on arrival and departure. Runway 14 also has an approach note tied to trees near the threshold. Taxiway lights are only at the entrance. No on-field FBOs are listed, so contact the airport operator directly before arrival if you need fuel or ramp details.
