RWY 28

Grand Marais/Cook County Airport sits in Grand Marais, Minnesota. Field elevation is 1,803 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 10/28 is 5,002 ft long with asphalt pavement. No tower is published, so plan to self-announce on CTAF 122.8. UNICOM is also 122.8. No ILS approaches are published here.

Pattern altitude is not published in the facts block. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. Runway 28 is the calm wind runway. That matters here when the wind is light or variable. The field also has runway end identifier lights, PAPI on runways 10 and 28, plus medium intensity runway lights on 10/28. Those lights are preset to low intensity.

Roy Aero Service is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. After-hours fuel service is available by phone. The airport remarks also note customs service from May 15 to October 15. For clearance delivery, if you cannot reach Flight Service, contact Minneapolis ARTCC. This is a northern Minnesota field with a higher elevation than many lakefront airports. Check density altitude, especially on warm days. Verify the current Chart Supplement for any changes before you go.
