Fremont Muni is in Fremont, Michigan. The field elevation is 771.6 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is runway 01/19 at 6,501 ft. There is no control tower. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
No ILS approaches are published here. Runway lighting is pilot controlled on CTAF. Runway end identifier lights are on 01 and 19. PAPI is on 19 and 28. VASI is on 01. That helps at night or in marginal VFR, but you still need to brief the field before arrival.
Heritage Flight Support is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. 100LL is self-serve. Jet A is full service by truck. Icing inhibitor is available on request. If you need service after hours, the published remarks give a phone number for that.
A first-time pilot should also note the nearby seaplane activity on the lake about 0.5 NM northeast of the airport. There is also a marked 39-foot power line about 1,500 ft from runway 19. The pavement classification rating for 01/19 is published as 320/F/C/X/T. Check the current Chart Supplement for any local procedures before you go.
