PARK RIVER - W C SKJERVEN FLD sits in Park River, North Dakota. Field elevation is 1,104.1 ft MSL. The airport has two runways. The longest is 13/31 at 3,100 ft. Runway 04/22 is 2,499 ft turf. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8.

No ILS approaches are published here. The pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. For runway 13/31, medium intensity lights are activated from sunset to sunrise on CTAF. The PAPI on 13 and 31 operates continuously. That helps at night or in marginal light.

There are no on-field FBOs listed. Plan ahead for fuel or service and call the airport operator or the FBO directly before arrival. Published remarks also note deer and birds in the area. Runway 04/22 is closed in winter months because snow removal is not provided. There is also a 23-foot power line near the 22 threshold on centerline, so treat that end with care. For winter conditions after a major storm, call 701-331-0818. For after-hours service, use the same number. For clearance delivery, contact Minneapolis ARTCC at 651-463-5588.
