Please Note:
The Shell Lake airport will be closed for
reconstruction at 6 AM on June 9 2008, and is expected to
open about the Labor Day weekend, depending on construction
delays.
The reconstruction will include adding a small courtesy
parking area at the NW end of the airport for transient traffic
giving convenient access to four restaurants within less than 1/2
mile walk. The runway will be widened to 75 feet, all paved
surfaces will be refinished, with new pilot controlled lights and
approach lighting systems installed.
The Shell Lake Municipal Airport is located in town on the shores
of Shell Lake.
The paved runway is 3,700 feet long and there is a paved
tie-down area spacious enough for Cubs to Jets. Tie-down rings
are imbedded in the ramp for light aircraft. The ramp, runway and
taxiways are plowed of snow and the airport is usable all year
round.
The Chuck Lewis Terminal building, is open to the aviation
public 24-hours a day. The terminal area has a restroom,
telephone and a weather terminal.
For navigation, there is a rotational beacon, GPS, and
VOR-DME IFR approaches with pilot controlled PAPI visual glide
slope indicators and runway end identification lights (REILs) for
runway 32.
There are no fueling facilities. Land is available for
hangars. For more information, please call City Hall at (715)
468-7679.
