There are no on-field FBOs listed. For 100LL, call the airport manager. For clearance delivery, contact Minneapolis ARTCC at 651-463-5588. The river channel is marked by buoys. Floating debris is present on the river at all times. That matters here more than a normal paved-field briefing. Plan a careful look at the water surface before takeoff or landing. Verify current river and local operating conditions before you go.
