Been up here in ND for the last 6 years, flown across the state numerous times and into some small public strips, most paved but am wondering if anyone happens to know of any great places?

Starbuck, MN is a good grass strip. Camper friendly. Can walk to lake Minnewaska beach and local bar n grill(s). They have a fly in every 4th of July.

Keep us posted if you find some! I am about 40 miles SW of GF. 6ND6

My daughter lives in Fargo and what amazes me when I fly back and forth is the amount of farms with paved runways .

I've also noticed that too, quite a bit of farmland around ND have pavement airstrips. Must be cropduster ops in and out of there.
Starbuck, MN. I've heard of that somewhere before but can't remember where or who from. May have to go and check that out. There is a river out in western ND I've been eyeballing with sections of dried up riverbed that have gravel bars. May have to make my way out west to check it out.

On the topic of strips, my EAA chapter 1342 is having our annual Hog Roast at Heyde Filed 5miles north of Grand Forks International, just on the edge of the Class Delta. ALL are welcome! Sorry for short notice!

Have you flown into S28, Peace Garden Airport? You can walk across the highway to http://www.peacegarden.com/

I used to picnic there in summertime and listen to concerts put on by the talented young attendees of the International Music Camp. Their 2017 schedule is linked on their home page at http://internationalmusiccamp.com/

Fly safely,

You know I have flown into S28. Only a really quick stop though for the ND Airport Passport Stamp, then turn and burn home racing weather back to the east. Would definitely like to return though and hear some music, maybe I'll try and make it back up there. Thanks for info on the music camp schedule!!

Looks like good weather for
Tomorrow, what's your grass like? Might be coming in the Mooney.

Garrison Dan Recreational Airport, 37A is interesting located below the big dam and within the fish hatchery.

The place is covered with straight gravel roads. I land in front of my Moms house in Jamestown.

Bump... thinking about a social-distancing style trip in May to the only state I haven't been to. Anybody know of any cool strips in NoDak that allow camping? Grass and running water preferred but not required.

Let me know if you head this way, if you want I can send you a ND airport directory.

Thanks Lance! I saw a North Dakota thread over on supercub.org that had some good info too.

Anybody find one? I am planning on going by there this summer and am looking for a good spot to camp for a night

Old thread, but if you want to venture into MN, there are a lot of private grass strips around where most of the owners are welcoming. Most of these strips are shorter, so you need a fairly decent shorter field type plane. I'm close to Itasca State Park.

Mock! bringing your old thread back to life it seems.

ND has lots of neat grass strips. Lots of private ones, some pretty cool public ones too. Around Grand Forks area- Mc Ville (8M6, neat approach over silos) and Arthur (1A2) are strictly grass. Crookston (CKN), Warren (D37), Grafton (GAF), and Park River (Y37) are paved with grass options. Grafton has a good taco Tuesday place nearby.

Check out the FunForPilots.com (https://www.funforpilots.com/unpaved-airstrips/) airstrip map for some good gouge. I think they have a camping guide also.
