The identifier US-11024 is defunct and is marked as 'closed' in aeronautical databases (such as the DAFIF) dating from the mid-2000s. The exact date of this administrative change is unknown. However, the physical facility itself did not permanently cease operations but was instead re-registered under a new identifier.
The 'closure' was not due to economic hardship, military conversion, or a major accident. It was an administrative change. The facility, a private seaplane base, was likely re-registered with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) under a new name and identifier. The old identifier, US-11024, which appears to originate from a non-FAA database, was subsequently retired. This is a common occurrence for private-use airfields when ownership changes or records are updated.
The physical site at coordinates 47.0149, -92.168198 is currently an active and operational private-use airport. It is now registered with the FAA as the 'Island Lake Seaplane Base' (FAA Location ID: 21MN). The site continues to be used as a private base for seaplane operations, associated with the residential property at 6108 E. White Pine Lane, Duluth, MN.
As a small, private-use facility, North Country Seaplane Base had minimal public or historical significance. Its operations were limited to the personal, recreational use of the property owner. It would have supported a single or small number of private seaplanes for flights originating from the owner's property on Island Lake. It did not handle any commercial, cargo, or military traffic.
The question of reopening is not applicable in the traditional sense. The identifier US-11024 is permanently defunct and will not be reinstated. The physical seaplane base itself is already open and actively operating under its current name and FAA identifier, 21MN.
