The airport had a main paved runway (5/23) that was demolished around August 15, 2020[1] and an intersecting grass runway (12/30) that still exists today. With the failure of a millage, the airport no longer supports fixed wing aircraft.[2][3]

The airport is still used for general aviation and has no regularly scheduled commercial flights. It is quite popular with ultralight and model aircraft. The airport is also home to the Experimental Aircraft Association Chapter 1242.
