The on-field FBO is Two Harbors Municipal Airport. It carries 100LL, Jet A Prist and MOGAS. Fuel is available 24 hours with credit card. After hours service is listed by phone.
A few field details matter here. Runway 15/33 is closed in winter except for ski-equipped aircraft. Runways 15 and 33 are marked with yellow cones. Runway 06/24 lighting is preset low from sunset to sunrise. Pilots can raise the intensity and turn on runway end identifier lights and PAPI on 06 and 24 through the CTAF. This is a good field to brief before arrival, especially if you are planning a night stop or a winter landing.
