Crandon/Steve Conway Muni sits in Crandon, Wisconsin. Field elevation is 1,650 ft MSL. The airport has two runways. The longest is runway 12/30 at 3,550 ft asphalt. Runway 01/19 is 2,742 ft turf. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.

No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the pattern at 2,650 ft MSL based on the listed field elevation. For clearance delivery, contact Minneapolis ARTCC at 651-463-5588.

A few remarks matter for planning. Deer are reported on and near the airport. Runway 01 is marked with yellow cones. Runway 19 is marked with yellow cones. Markings on runway 12 are faded. Markings on runway 30 are faded. The runway 12/30 lights are preset to low from sunset to sunrise. Use CTAF to increase intensity and activate them. There are no on-field FBOs listed, so verify fuel and services with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before you go. This is a non-towered field at 1,650 ft MSL, so expect normal self-announce traffic and pay attention to the deer issue, especially at dawn and dusk.
