Maple Lake Municipal Airport (ICAO: KMGG, FAA LID: MGG) is a city-owned, public-use airport located one nautical mile (2 km) northeast of the central business district of Maple Lake, a city in Wright County, Minnesota, United States.[1] It is located on Maple Lake and is also known as Maple Lake Municipal Airport & Seaplane Base.[2] The current full name is now Maple Lake Municipal - Bill Mavencamp Sr Field.[3]
Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, Maple Lake Municipal Airport is assigned MGG by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA[4] (which assigned MGG to Margarima, Papua New Guinea[5]).
The Maple Lake Flying club was formed in 1965 with the goal of establishing an airport in the city. In June 1967 the airport opened.[3]
