RWY 26

Bayfield County Airport sits in Iron River, Wisconsin. Field elevation is 1,134 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 08/26, which is 3,007 ft long and surfaced with turf. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.

The pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current Chart Supplement or airport operator gives you a different instruction. The runway lighting is low intensity and is activated by CTAF on 08/26. Runway 08 is marked with red and white A-frames. Runway 26 is marked the same way. Published remarks also note controlling obstructions on both ends that exceed a 45 degree slope. That is a real factor for takeoff and landing planning.

No on-field FBOs are listed, so plan to confirm services before arrival. Winter conditions and snow removal should be checked with the airport manager before you go. Occasional wild game is also noted on and near the airport. For clearance delivery, contact Minneapolis ARTCC. This is a small non-towered field with turf surface and local terrain or obstruction issues near both runway ends. Treat it like a careful short-field planning stop, especially in winter or when the surface is soft.
