Walker Muni is in Walker, Minnesota. The field elevation is 1,348.4 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 15/33 is 3,220 ft of asphalt, which is the longest runway on the field. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published. Use standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the light-piston pattern at about 2,348 ft MSL based on the field elevation. Verify the published pattern before you go. The published remarks also note 24-hour 100LL fuel by credit card. Runway lighting is set to low from sunset to sunrise. Pilots can raise the intensity and turn on runway end identifier lights on runways 15 and 33. The PAPI on both runway ends is activated by CTAF.
For clearance delivery, contact Minneapolis ARTCC at 651-463-5588. There are no on-field FBOs listed in the facts. Verify services with the airport operator before arrival. This is a non-towered field in northern Minnesota. Plan for a self-announce pattern, local traffic and winter weather that can change runway conditions fast. Check the current Chart Supplement for any published noise or curfew restrictions before flying into the field.
