Houston County Airport is in Caledonia, Minnesota. The field elevation is 1,179 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 13/31 is 3,499 ft long with an asphalt surface. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The on-field FBO is Houston County. It carries 100LL. Twenty-four hour credit card self-service is available for 100LL fuel.
A few operational details matter here. The turf taxiway is uneven and it is 25 feet wide. Medium intensity runway lights on 13/31 are preset to low intensity from sunset to sunrise. Use the CTAF to increase intensity and activate the lights. For clearance delivery, contact Minneapolis ARTCC at 651-463-5588. This is a non-towered field, so expect self-announce traffic and keep a close eye out on the taxiway and runway environment.
