## Description

«International» is a generous label for a single 5,499-foot strip beside the Rainy River — but Baudette earns it through the U.S. Customs and Border Protection port that clears flights from Ontario, just across the water. County-owned and paired with a seaplane base on the river, the field (BDE/KBDE) serves general aviation, air taxi, military and, in winter, the automakers who use the deep freeze for cold-weather vehicle testing. The self-styled «Walleye Capital of the World», complete with the Willie Walleye statue, handles no air cargo; commercial freight trucks south to Duluth or Minneapolis/St. Paul (MSP).
