Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current Chart Supplement or the airport operator gives you something different. The published runway headings are magnetic 053° and 233°. The Chart Supplement remarks call out excessive weeds on 05W/23W.

There are no on-field FBOs listed. For fuel service after hours, the published remarks give a phone number to call. The remarks also list an alternate manager contact and say to contact Minneapolis Approach for clearance delivery. South departures make a left turn out. There is a 500-foot tower 2 miles east, right of the departure path. That is worth keeping in mind on climbout and when you brief the departure. If you are new to the field, review the current Chart Supplement before you go. Check for any updated operational notes, then call the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone if you need current service details.
