Green Lake Airport (Y88) sits in Interlochen, Michigan. The field elevation is 866 ft MSL. It has two turf runways. The longest is runway 05/23 at 2,800 ft. Runway 16/34 is 1,700 ft. This is an uncontrolled airport with CTAF 122.9. No ILS approaches are published.

The pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. Published remarks matter here. There is a 460 ft antenna 2 NM north of the airport. The Chart Supplement also notes displaced threshold markings with 3 ft yellow cones on runways 16 and 23. Approach slopes are steep to the displaced thresholds because of trees near both ends. No snow removal is provided.

There are no on-field FBOs listed. Plan on self-sufficiency and verify services with the airport operator before you go. The airport has been established since before 1959. There is also a UAS operating area south of runway 34, marked by a mowed X shape. For clearance delivery, contact Minneapolis ARTCC at 651-463-5588. First-time visitors should pay close attention to the turf surface. They should also watch the tree obstructions and the lack of tower service.
