Comments from pilots:
- Excellent small airport. We flew in with a Cherokee 140, no landing fee, and were able to sign out two bicycles from the FBO. The airport is adjacent to a long greenway which is excellent for riding bikes eastbound into the nature areas along the river or westbound into the city. (2025-04-21, 0 helpful)
