L.M. Clayton Airport (OLF)

L.M. Clayton Airport (OLF), formerly Wolf Point International Airport, is a regional aviation facility located three miles northeast of Wolf Point in northeastern Montana. Named after Lyman Clayton Jr., who was instrumental in developing regional aviation services, the airport features a single compact terminal building that efficiently handles all arrivals and departures for this remote community on the Fort Peck Indian Reservation. As an Essential Air Service (EAS) facility, the terminal is designed for simplicity, with check-in, waiting, and security screening areas all centrally located.

Inside the terminal, amenities are basic but functional, including comfortable seating and free Wi-Fi for travelers. While there are no formal restaurants or retail shops, vending machines provide snack and beverage options. The airport serves as the primary link for Cape Air, operating daily flights to Billings Logan International Airport with nine-passenger Cessna 402 aircraft. The facility is well-maintained and provides a professional atmosphere, reflecting its critical role in connecting this remote part of Roosevelt County to the national aviation network.

Operational capacity at OLF is supported by a single 5,091-foot asphalt runway (11/29) at 1,986 feet elevation, accommodating small turboprop and general aviation aircraft. The terminal is staffed during scheduled flight times with helpful personnel available to assist with passenger processing. Its location near the Missouri River provides scenic approaches, while also serving as a base for emergency medical services and governmental transport. Notably recognized as the smallest airport in the contiguous United States with scheduled commercial service, OLF exemplifies rural aviation connectivity essential for isolated communities.
