Grand Marais Airport (Y98) sits in Grand Marais, Michigan. Field elevation is 838 ft MSL. It has two turf runways. The longest is 2,800 ft on runway 14/32. Runway 05/23 is 2,600 ft. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.7. No ILS approaches are published.
The pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the traffic pattern at 1,838 ft MSL based on the field elevation, but verify the current published guidance before you go. The airport is closed from October 15 to May 15. Runways and roads are not plowed in winter, so plan for seasonal access limits.
The published remarks matter here. Runway 05/23 is rough. Runway 14/32 is rough too, with areas of sand. There are 3-foot yellow cones marking runway areas and displaced threshold items. Runway 05 has a displaced threshold with a 20 to 1 approach ratio. This is a turf field with short runways, so treat it as a soft-field arrival and departure. There are no on-field FBOs listed. Contact the manager by cell phone or the owner at the township hall for current field status. For clearance delivery, contact Minneapolis ARTCC at 651-463-5588.
