Frequently asked questions
What runways are available at KDLL?
Baraboo / Wisconsin Dells Regional (KDLL) has two runways. Runway 01/19 is asphalt-paved, 5,010 feet long and 100 feet wide, suitable for midsize business jet operations. Runway 14/32 is a 2,725-foot turf strip, also 100 feet wide, and it is not plowed and closes each year from November 15 through April 15. Pilots planning to use the turf runway outside the winter closure should confirm status with the airport before arrival.
Is fuel available at KDLL around the clock?
Yes, Baraboo / Wisconsin Dells Regional offers 24-hour fuel availability with credit card payment. The field stocks both 100LL and A+ avgas along with Jet A. Staffed attendance hours run 0800-1900 from May through September and 0800-1700 from October through April, but the self-serve credit card fuel access operates outside those hours as well. This makes KDLL usable for after-hours fuel stops even when the field is unattended.
Does KDLL have an operating control tower?
No, KDLL is a non-towered airport, so all traffic uses the common traffic advisory frequency for self-announced arrivals and departures. Runway lighting, including the medium intensity runway lights on runway 01/19, is pilot-controlled and preset to low intensity between sunset and sunrise, with the option to increase intensity as needed. Runway end identifier lights on both ends of runway 01/19 and the PAPI systems on runway 01 and 19 are also activated through CTAF. For clearance delivery, pilots contact Madison Approach / Departure, or Chicago ARTCC when Madison Approach is closed.
Are there any noise or wildlife considerations for arrivals at KDLL?
Yes, Baraboo / Wisconsin Dells Regional has two operational cautions worth noting. A noise abatement procedure asks pilots to avoid overflight of a wildlife sanctuary located 1.5 nautical miles northeast of the airport. Separately, the airport reports bird activity on and in the vicinity of the field during the fall season, which pilots should factor into approach and departure planning during that period. Both notes apply regardless of which runway is in use.
How does traffic at KDLL vary through the year?
Business aviation operations at Baraboo / Wisconsin Dells Regional vary considerably by month according to FAA TFMSC data, with July recording 249 operations, well above every other month. Surrounding months in summer, June and August, run in the 115 to 146 range, while winter months such as February see traffic as low as 57 operations. This pattern lines up with the Wisconsin Dells area's peak tourism season. Dispatchers planning summer trips into KDLL should expect notably busier conditions in July than in the surrounding shoulder months.
