RWY 27

Wild Rose Idlewild Airport is in Wild Rose, Wisconsin. The field elevation is 908 ft MSL. It has two turf runways. The longest is 09/27 at 2,990 ft. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published.

Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless local procedures or current published data say otherwise. That puts the light piston pattern at about 1,908 ft MSL based on field elevation. Runway 09/27 is marked with yellow cones. It is plowed in winter. It also has activated low intensity runway lights controlled by CTAF. The published remarks also note nonstandard threshold lights on 09/27. Runway 18/36 is closed from November 15 through April 1.

There are no on-field FBOs listed, so plan fuel and service with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before arrival. The published remarks also call out deer, cranes and ultralight activity in and near the airport. That matters here. Keep a sharp scan on approach and in the pattern. The airport is leased to the Wild Rose Airport Association. If you need current operating details or any local restrictions, check the current FAA Chart Supplement before you go.
