Sage Lake (M47) sits in Hale, Michigan. Field elevation is 906 ft MSL. This is a water airport with three runways. The longest are 14L/32R and 14R/32L at 6,700 ft. The third runway is 05W/23W at 5,000 ft. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement or local procedures say otherwise. That puts the working pattern around 1,906 ft MSL. The published remarks say the windsock can be unreliable because of trees close in all directions. Do not lean on it alone. The field also has a docking facility. For clearance delivery, contact Minneapolis ARTCC at 651-463-5588.
There are no on-field FBOs listed in the facts. Contact the airport operator directly before arrival if you need current services. This is a non-towered water field, so expect self-announced traffic on CTAF and keep a close scan for other seaplanes. Check the current Chart Supplement for any local procedures or restrictions before you go.
