Birch Lake is in Deerwood, Minnesota. The field elevation is 1,278 ft MSL. It has one runway, a 5,283 ft water runway labeled 13W/31W. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The airport is in Type C airspace per the facts provided. If you are planning a first visit, pay attention to the wind indicator. It is north of the lake and can be obscured by trees.
