Scotts Seaplane Base (ICAO: KCDD, FAA LID: CDD) is a public use seaplane base located in the community of Crane Lake, in St. Louis County, Minnesota, United States. It is privately owned by Darrell Scott[1] and is also known at Scott's Seaplane Base.[2]

Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, Scotts Seaplane Base is assigned CDD by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA[3] (which assigned CDD to Cauquira, Honduras[4]).
