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 2,157 ft MSL based on the field elevation here. Runway 10/28 has low intensity lights that are activated by CTAF. Runway 01/19 is closed November through April and when snow covered. It is also listed as rough with patches of gravel.

The published remarks matter here. Runway 10 has nearby obstacles near the threshold. Runway 19 has a displaced threshold note with a 20 to 1 approach slope. Large birds and large mammals are reported on and near the airport. There are no on-field FBOs listed, so verify fuel and services with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before you go. For clearance delivery, Minneapolis ARTCC is listed in the Chart Supplement. This is a non-towered field, so plan your self-announce calls carefully and expect local traffic on 122.9.
