Experience the fun of landing on a well-maintained 2,600 foot turf runway running down the center of an island in the Mississippi river or land your plane on the Mississippi river and pull up on a sandy beach.

What to bring? Bring your own meat to grill, a covered dish, table settings, and drinks.  We will provide the grills, tables, coffee, and water.  We also offer a limited number of our special smoked chicken legs for those unable to carry their own food.

Ample space is available for float planes  to dock or beach.
