Approximately between 2003 and 2004. The airport was depicted on the 2003 Jacksonville Sectional Chart but was no longer listed or shown on the 2004 edition.
The specific reason is not publicly documented. As a private airfield associated with a farm, the closure was most likely due to economic factors or a change in the owner's circumstances. Common reasons for such closures include the sale of the property, the owner no longer being an active pilot, or the land being repurposed for more profitable agricultural use. There is no evidence suggesting closure due to an accident, safety violations, or military conversion.
The airport is permanently closed and has been reclaimed by nature and agriculture. High-resolution satellite imagery of the location (31.1052, -83.998802) clearly shows the faint, overgrown outline of the former north-south runway amidst cultivated farm fields. The land is actively used for farming, and no airport infrastructure, such as hangars, lighting, or markings, remains.
Lost Creek Farms Airport was a private-use airfield that served the agricultural enterprise it was named after. Its primary function was to support the farm's operations and provide personal air transportation for the owner. According to aviation directories from the mid-1990s, the airport featured a single 3,400-foot by 100-foot turf runway designated 18/36. Its operations were restricted to private general aviation aircraft, and its significance was entirely local, providing convenient air access for a private farm in a rural area.
There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Lost Creek Farms Airport. The land is privately owned and is part of an active agricultural operation. Re-establishing an airport would require the landowner to cease farming the area and make a significant financial investment to restore the runway and facilities. Given that the land is being used productively, a return to aviation use is considered highly unlikely.
