Harry W. Browne Airport is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A+. Self-serve fuel is available 24 hours a day. That helps for late arrivals. Watch runway 23 closely. The published remarks call out a culvert near the end of the runway and a ditch across the approach end. Deer and large birds are also reported on and near the airport. Major holidays can mean the airport is unattended, so plan ahead if you need local help.
