The exact closure date is not officially documented as it was a private field. It was listed as active in a 1982 aviation directory but appears to have been abandoned by the late 1990s. The likely period of closure is between the late 1980s and mid-1990s.
The airport was a private-use airfield. The most probable reason for its closure is related to its owner, George Jensen. This could include retirement from flying, the sale of the property, or the owner's passing. There is no indication that it was closed due to accidents, regulatory action, or broader economic factors.
The site of the former airport is now agricultural land. Satellite imagery of the coordinates (45.6451, -92.366402) clearly shows the faint outline of the former north-south runway, which is now an overgrown grass strip integrated into surrounding farmland. There are no remaining airport facilities such as hangars, terminals, or lighting.
Geo Jensen Airport was a small, private general aviation airfield. It was not a municipal or commercial airport and had limited historical significance beyond serving its owner and possibly other local private pilots. A 1982 directory indicates it had a single unpaved runway (18/36) with a length of 2,200 feet. Its operations would have consisted of light, single-engine aircraft for recreational purposes.
There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Geo Jensen Airport. The land has been fully converted to private agricultural use, and the aviation need for the area is served by other public airports, such as Burnett County Airport (KRZN), located approximately 15 miles to the northwest.
