RWY 20

Waskish Muni is in Waskish, Minnesota. The field elevation is 1,184.6 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 02/20 is 2,992 ft of turf, so plan for soft-field technique and check the surface before you go. The airport is non-towered. CTAF is 122.9.

No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. The runway headings are magnetic. Runway 02 is marked with yellow cones at the end. Runway 20 is marked the same way. The turf has several bare spots with sand showing through, which matters if the field has been wet or if you are planning a heavier load.

There are no on-field FBOs listed. Contact the airport operator directly or call the field on CTAF for current service options before arrival. Electric outlets are available near the tiedowns. For clearance delivery, Minneapolis ARTCC can be reached at 651-463-5588. This is a small, rural strip with a single turf runway, so a careful surface check and a conservative performance plan make sense before you launch or land.
