Washademoak Airport

The specific reason for closure is not publicly recorded. For a small private airstrip of this nature, the most common reasons are personal to the owner. This can include the owner's retirement from flying, sale of the property, inability to maintain the strip due to cost or health, or the owner's death. There is no evidence to suggest the closure was due to a specific accident, regulatory action, or economic reasons beyond the owner's personal finances.

The site is no longer an active or usable airport. The property functions as a private residence. The former grass runway is completely overgrown with grass, weeds, and small shrubs, making it indistinguishable from the surrounding fields and entirely unsuitable for aviation. The hangar building still stands on the property but appears to be used for general or agricultural storage rather than for aircraft.

Washademoak Airport held local significance as a private general aviation facility. It was not a public airport and had no major historical role in Canadian aviation. Operations were limited to recreational flying by the owner and possibly invited guests. The infrastructure consisted of a single grass/turf runway, approximately 2,200 feet in length, and one hangar adjacent to a private residence. It supported light, single-engine aircraft, typical of personal recreational use. Its location near Washademoak Lake in New Brunswick made it ideal for private flights in the region.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Washademoak Airport. As the land is privately owned and has been integrated into a residential property, and the runway has been unmaintained for over a decade, reopening is considered extremely unlikely. It would require a significant personal investment from the current landowner to clear the land, restore the runway surface, and potentially re-certify it as an aerodrome, for which there is no apparent demand or intent.
